Perfection takes time... or something like that. That's our excuse, at least, for why it's been more than a week since the last episode. However, a full week means lots of progress on the truck. Chec...
There's no better way to enjoy a vehicle you've built with your own hands than to use it, or perhaps in this case, abuse it. Earlier this spring, Emily and I, along with our dog Chloe, set out for th...
Part supplies can really dictate ownership experience of classic cars. With my unique old '80s Mitsubishi Montero, I've become painfully familiar with the feeling of dismay when met with the dreaded ...
Sunrise came early, and day three began with a storybook sunrise. As the horizon began to glow in the distance, the lake below us shimmered and danced in the growing light. The silence of the desert ...
Just over six months ago, Kris Clewell and Alex Nelson set out on the trip of a lifetime. Following the shipment of Kris's 1972 Porsche 911 from Minnesota to the StanceWorks HQ here in Southern Calif...
It's been quite some time since we last photographed Emily's 128i. For me, it's been years since I've got out and shot a car for no other reason than to shoot, but with a new camera in hand, and with...
I'm pretty sure I can officially call this post a "tradition" now. Or maybe I have before, I can't say for sure. A year ago was, well, a year ago, and a lot has happened since... and in more ways tha...
California is a big state. It's larger than most realize, I'd wager, with "NorCal" and "SoCal" only taking up the bottom half of the state. With its size and location comes one of the most geological...
It was a few weeks ago, with the shop door wide open, that a fellow BMW enthusiast spotted the slew of E28s inside the StanceWorks HQ. Driving an absolutely gorgeous 535iS of his own, he pulled up ou...
We can safely say it: we’ve survived yet another SEMA. Even after attending my ninth SEMA this year, they don’t get any easier. It’s a week-long challenge for the feet, the joints, and the liver, tha...
This year, our annual trip to Monterey for the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion was made a bit more special, having taken my own truck up as opposed to the comfy leather seats of a new BMW. There a...
It was nearly two years ago that Rusty was finally unveiled: the cover was pulled back and the latest iteration of a car-turned-legend was shared with the world at SEMA, 2015. However, two years of h...
In the days leading up to the famous Monterey Car Week, we took our Land Cruisers up for some trail fun in Big Bear, CA, to escape the heat. With our project FJ60 complete, Jeremy Whittle's FJ62 tune...
It always seems as though August is the busiest month of the year. With SEMA rapidly approaching, our project builds take off, just as the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion arrives. Balance that wit...
It's been almost six months since I purchased my FJ60, following an accident that rendered my FJ62 Land Cruiser a total loss. I purchased this particular FJ60, bone stock, for two reasons: it's compl...
Two months ago, we took to our project FJ60 with a slew of Turtle Wax goodies, and with a bit of elbow grease, showed how one man's farm truck can be another man's treasure. After reaching all of the...
When building the StanceWorks "Parts Car" E28 last year, brakes stood as one of the more interesting hurdles of the project. Big brake kits aren't exceedingly common for E28s - understandably - which...
We're now one full week into summer, and we can confidently say we've all been waiting for it. The sun stays high in the sky, the nights are warm, and for most of the country, the inclement weather i...
Truth be told, I'm impressed we managed to post a Daily Grind piece without adding a new vehicle to the fleet. It was our first in a long, long time - Andrew's Project Mini update - but the reality i...
A little over 6 months ago , Mike and I loaded up his Land Cruiser and set the navigation towards a small town in the vast desert that lines the eastern half of the Golden State. Nestled in a small b...
It seems like we’ve talked of taking the entire StanceWorks gang out for a track day for years. From broken cars and builds that are under construction, to conflicting schedules, empty wallets, and p...
We've made no effort to hide our growing interest in the automotive world that lies off the beaten path, and over the past couple of years, the number of trucks here in the SW Garage seems to have mu...
It was just an un-assuming little squareback, sitting in California waiting for a new owner to claim it. The beige wagon wore layers of paint over body panels that had seen a rough handful of decades...
For five years now, a tradition has continued: a post that looks back on the year that has passed, highlighting the best imagery captured over the last twelve months. It's an opportunity for Andrew a...
It was more than four years ago that I first hit the trail with Geoff; without a truck of my own, I was relegated to the passenger seat while he and Kyle tackled obstacles that were far beyond their ...
