Hello Everyone!
Starting a new venture at my home shop, Zapp’s Rod Shop, located in Cottage Grove.
I’ve been a member here on Wis collector car for about 4 years, although I haven’t posted much.
I grew up in a car family and old cars have always been a part of my life.
I’ve always had a dream to open up a shop someday and help others with their old cars, finally jumped into it.
We are focusing on 1928-1980ish vehicles, and anything from minor maintenance to complete restorations.
Things have started out really well and I have added some pictures of a few customers cars we currently have in the shop.
Visit our our FB page at Zapp’s Rod Shop or http://www.zappsrodshop.com for updates and progress on customer cars.
If there is anything we can do for you, or you have any questions, just let me know, or just pass the word along!
Thank You!
Jeff Zapp-

I got this done in time for the Symco Shakedown show. Now its time to freshen up the Flathead and swap in a 5 speed for better daily driving. Just thought I would share a few pictures. Zapper

You mean to tell me that truck isn’t getting an LS swap like everything else on the planet?! :whistle:
I like the old look shop/store truck. Adds a bit of class in today’s society, and reminds people of a time where you actually had to work for your money – The Government didn’t just hand it out.
Sharp looking truck. Are you rebuilding the flathead or putting in another powerplant? Very nice thing you are doing for your wife.
Sticking with the original Flathead, but it was worn out and needed to be freshed. It is going to get a 4″ Merc crank, Edelbrock Heads and intake, 2 carbs, etc…..
The only change I am going to make to the driveline will be a 5 speed conversion so we can drive it more on a daily basis.Another new project just arrived.
A cool 1968 3/4 ton 2wd Suburban. Currently powered by the original 292 Straight 6 and 4 speed.
Originally from California, and overall pretty solid, but still needs some rust repair.
Rumor is David Freiburger from Hot Rod magazine and Roadkill on Youtube owned this truck a couple years ago.[attachment=501]Suburban68-2pic.jpg[/attachment]
