At first glance, Chris Gonyea's '71 Alfa GTV may leave something to be desired, depending on your tastes. It's not quite the sight for sore eyes one might expect when introduced to an Italian classic...

When it comes to cool cars, there are a million-and-one ways to build them. That's probably pretty obvious. However, there are also a handful of surefire tried-and-true ways to build a show stopper. ...
The Nürburgring. There's no way I can as eloquently depict this motorsport Mecca, than what has already been written over the years. What I can tell you however, is that you MUST go. Nothing I could ...
To put it simply, life has its ups and downs. Each and every one of us is dealt a hand of cards, with some of us landing more advantageous hands than others. As we make our way through the journey of...
To put it simply, there aren't a lot of cars that make me smile. By looking at them, I mean. Sure, time spent behind the wheel, with the pedal down and the revs up will almost always lead to a releas...
Street circuits hold a certain allure. As race engines echo off of the buildings that once lined your daily commute, race flags pepper the city skyline with color. For a weekend, the city transforms ...
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...
What makes a car " cool?" It's a worthwhile question, but I'm rather confident it's one that doesn't have a precise answer. From style and prowess to performance and power, from concepts and ideas, t...
The little 2002 holds a very special place in our hearts here at StanceWorks. As one of the important turning points that positioned BMW as a true driver's car, we owe a lot to the old Neue Klasse, s...
Most of the vintage race weekends that we attend are quite an occasion. The paddocks swarm with spectators and large car haulers line the numerous rows of work areas. The weekends feel surreal, with ...
Crawling through the paddock of the Rolex Monterey Motorsport Reunion is, in many ways, perhaps the best part of the event as a whole. The scream of the classic race cars on track as they blaze a pat...
When the StanceWorks "Parts Car" build began, there was an invaluable balance I wanted to find. While undoubtedly a race car at its core, I wanted something built to last. I wanted to build a car tha...
When it comes to the unique, the obscure, and the remarkable, there's no better place to look than the greens of the Pebble Beach Golf Course. Each summer, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance brings...
It was more than a year ago that Sebastian Sieberg & Sebastian Zimmermann of SSSZ Photo shared their work on the StanceWorks homepage. The duo brought us a look at the Nurburgring Historic races thro...
For many of us, finding a car is a pivotal moment in any build. For us, it represents a turn from dreams to reality, and represents a culmination of ideas coming to fruition in its earliest stages. T...
From time to time, we cross the paths of those who have mastered their craft. Jeremy Heslup's video work is sure to illustrate his talent, and with Matt Hummel's Porsche 356 as a subject, we're convi...
Over the years, we here at StanceWorks have seemingly heard it all. What motivates us to build our cars? Sometimes its memories of years passed, sometimes its the goal of fulfilling dreams. Sometimes...
Unless you're new to the StanceWorks homepage, chances are you've heard of Riley Stair. Aside form being one of StanceWorks's closest friends and supporters, he's also responsible for a number of not...
For a Mercedes fan, a trip to nearly any European car show is bound to result in disappointment. Beyond the droves of Volkswagens, BMWs, and even Porsches, they'd be lucky to find even just a few exa...
After purchasing the '84 533i that would become the my Group A tribute build in early July of this year, I sat down with Andrew to decide exactly where to take the project as a whole. I knew what I w...
Behind the big desk at H&R sits Roland Graef, a man who's enthusiasm for classic BMWs is paralleled only by our own. The desire to build an E28 or E30 all his own has been growing for years, and fitt...

It was nearly 10 years ago that I bought my first E28: a polaris silver 528e, for a total of $400. It was far from love at first sight - in fact, I bought it only to satisfy the sense of need I felt ...
