    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-
    Zapp’s Rod Shop

    Honest work at fair prices, stop in and see us!

    Jeff dropped his 1967 Chevelle off for a couple of updates. Very nice, and super solid car.
    This thing runs a Built 327 and a 4 speed

    Dave’s ’68 AMX is a 390 4-speed car.
    He had the paint and body work completed in Michigan where he found the car.
    We’ll take care of the final assy for him.

    1962 Falcon in the shop to have us install the wiring harness.

    Owner installed a JW Rod Garage Mustang II front end, Moser 9″ W/ 31 spine axles and a Big Block 454 Chevy / TH400 combo!

    We’ll get it up and running for the customer, and have it ready to drive onto the trailer to head back to his house for the next step in his build.

    Next into the shop is this 1975 Vega that we picked up Tuesday to help the owner get it back running and driving.
    It has been off of the road for quite a few years. Thanks Santino for reaching out to us and letting us help you with your project!

    I know a guy who bought one of these new, still has it, and probably doesn’t have 3000 miles on it. Its in his basement.

    Picked up this VERY nice 1969 Olds 442 yesterday from a customer in the Milwaukee area.
    Car is about 75-80% completed. We are going to add Vintage Air, and finish the assembly so its ready for
    some comfortable cruising next spring!
