After 45 years of sitting on the shelf I'm going to have my 69 Z carburetor redone. Any recommendations on a shop to do the work?

I second that.  Does great work and backs up what he does.

Eric did my Holley carb, best in the business IMO. Excellent workmanship, fast turnaround, knows carbs inside-out and he's a car guy himself.
Here's a few photos of the restored unit set up on Eric's test engine:

Beautiful work thanks to all for responses

Eric did mine.  Wasn't cheap, but good usually isn't.  Would do it again in an instant.  The only issue is it looks so nice I don't want to put gas in it!

Why might the aluminum boosters also be 'gold' when originally they are plain dull aluminum?  Original gold zinc dichromate has a somewhat different look to it that in those pictures, does it not?

Here is a NOS DZ carb which has plated boosters... the photo posted above is a much later non OEM double pumper.
