My good friend Jake Marshall is working diligently as we speak in preparation to open up his new shop in St. Paul, Ichabod Speed Cooperative. Some of you may know Jake; you're for sure as stoked as I am for the new shop. For those of you that don't know Jake; you are in for a treat. Whether it's a ground up hot rod build, welding on the hardtail for your chopper, sourcing some oddball parts, rebuilding your Nailhead or whatever else you can think of, he's your man. I asked Jake to give me an idea of what Ichabod Speed Shop will be all about, here it is from the man himself:
The Ichabod Speed Shop was built on the founding phrase, "Glory has Departed". While the current trends of automotive and motorcycle culture lean heavily on pricey aftermarket "bolt on" performance accessories. We in the blue collar hot rod and chop culture are not always available to such luxuries. This is a simple explanation as to why the preservation of time honored skills such as traditional hot rod and custom car building is so important. Our focus is simple, Purpose Built & Period Correct.
No matter if your driving a chopped pre war sled that needs service, or building a 60's bobber that could benefit from a new wiring harness. A salt flat styled street car with a noisy lifter and wobble at 70mph, or an original equipment stocker with a back seat full of parts just begging to become a nitro burning Gasser. Ichabod is up to the task. Inside our doors, craftsmanship and letting our work speak for itself is held in the highest regard. Our workforce is a small collective made up of builders, mechanics, artists, and fabricators. All who share a common theory "Live to Build, Build to live", This is who we are and what we represent.
So if you happen to find yourself looking for anything from a tune up to a complete custom build on your vintage or antique cars, trucks, and motorcycles, look no further then the Ichabod Speed Cooperative.
