A simple glance at Craig Metros's '32 Ford will establish a few things rather quickly: he's a man of good taste, for one. With a car that balances traditional styling, modern touches, and quintessent...
It was a few weeks ago that photographer and friend of StanceWorks, Eric Dowd, reached out with the latest of his work to share with us. Presented with some fantastic photos of a rather nice, simple ...
Bassam Michiel's E36 is a difficult one to describe. It probably won't be labeled as the "prettiest" car in the world, but I don't think Bassam minds. On the other hand, it's clearly "purpose built,"...
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...
This week on The Drivers Meeting: We're excited to say we've upgraded some equipment. Our video stream is now captured in 1080p, which is a serious step up from the cropped cell phone video we've bee...
I'll admit: I never expected to feature an Isuzu NPR commercial truck on StanceWorks. This site has taken us to the corners of automotive enthusiasm; however, the realm of custom haulers is one we've...
Frankly, it's the last car I'd have expected to fall in love with. I struggle to find infatuation with cars of the era; I often jokingly suggest they look like machines from Wacky Races, or like some...
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 was just 3 days ago that BMW unveiled the all-new Concept Z4, a continuation of the brand's renowned roadster. The teasers that surfaced piqued our interest, and the press images had us craving mo...
Episode 2: Episode 3:
We'd be hard pressed to find a better 912 on planet Earth, thus, we've made it our latest Desktop Wallpaper. If you've missed the story behind this gorgeous Porsche, be sure to click here. To save th...
There's few things we love more than shop talk, and with that, we're excited to introduce The Drivers Meeting. Live-streamed from the official StanceWorks Instagram account on Tuesday nights, The Dri...
We're all on an automotive journey of our own, no surprise there. It's typically over time that we find the right car for us. What can be surprising though, is when the journey of finding the perfect...
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...
In 2013, McLaren celebrated their 50th birthday, and in doing so, animated the history of the marque in Formula One. This Pixar-style series is wonderfully done, chock full of humor, history, and her...
Trans-Am race cars have a menacing look to them that draws me in every time I come across them. I'm not often a muscle car guy, but the low-slung physique mated with aggressive air dams and meaty tir...
There's a long-running joke - something about how Porsche 911s are just fancy Volkswagen Beetles. I'm sure there are a dozen-and-one variants, and truth be told, I've probably said them all in passin...
Rounding out this week's trio of DV Mechanics-built Alfa Giulias is a rather unique example, and this time, it's not owned by Dorian Valenzuela himself. Instead, it's owned by friend and fellow Alfa ...
If you know of Dorian Valenzuela, then you're probably familiar with this car. The Beige 1970 Alfa Romeo Giulia is Dorian's Magnum Opus, a defining build that points to his attention to detail and re...
There are few events in the world quite like the Carerra Panamericana... if any. Covering nearly 1,000 miles on public roads in a race that spans an entire week, and wrought of classic rally cars, Me...
They say that two is better than one, and we hope our readers feel the same when it comes to StanceWorks posts. We offer a second look at the Rooshers 911T we featured early last week. This time, how...
It was worth the wait, we promise. With excitement, we share the second half of Peter Aylward's coverage of the 75th Goodwood Members' Meeting. If 50 photos weren't tantalizing enough, we're confiden...
For years, we've longed to join in on the absolutely incredible Goodwood Members' Meeting. As is tradition, however, we've missed it once again, instead forcing ourselves to enjoy from afar. Luckily ...
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...
