Posted February 2, 20205 yr comment_592084 Looking for shops to do a restore. I'm considering a complete restore of my 1970 240z series one. I'm in the Sacramento area. If I was to say in California, that would be 500 miles south and 300 miles north, so I'll consider CA or any place within 500 miles.

February 3, 20205 yr comment_592090 Given the 500 mile radius you desire, I would suggest contacting Doctor Datsun in Rancho Cucamonga, which is ~400 miles from Sacramento. https://www.doctordatsunrestorations.com Al, the proprietor, completed component refurbishing and final assembly of my '72. I was very satisfied with the quality of work and attention to detail. My other suggestion would have been Pierre Z in Gardena. However, it appears that health issue has forced Pierre to cease operations.

It appears that California Datsun will remain for parts and Doctor Datsun will be for restoration services.

AKA URGELIS on the forum? He changed his company name before from Datsun Parts LLC. Maybe his stripes have changed but they seemed pretty deep back then.
