Looking for Z Specialist in Upstate South Carolina

Hi all:

I bought my '77 in original, but non-running condition several years ago.  I sorta got it running, but it's never really run well, either due to fuel delivery issues, or possibly a bad ECU.  My latest round of effort was basically a total overhaul of the fuel system, from cleaning the tank, to replacing everything else.  This dragged out over years because I'm sick of working on it.  Now I'm moving, and will lose the one-bay garage space I've been keeping the car stored in.  At this point I'm ready to acknowledge that I'm just not cut out for a project car.  I need a running Z, and want to find someone who can get my car roadworthy again.  Any recommendations?

There are a couple of people in the Atlanta area I would trust. If there's someone near you, @Patcon might know. I don't know if the Upstate Z Car Club still exists, but if they do, someone there may know, too.

Thanks!  Actually, I reached out to, and got a reply from the Upstate Z Club (Greg).  He gave me two names.  One is Japanese Auto Specialties in Greenville.  They have a first-gen expert to does one car at a time.  I'm on his waiting list.  Second guy is retiring, and referred me back to the guy at JAS.  So that's encouraging.  Charles is asking around for me, too.
