StanceWorks Model A – The Revival Begins
A wild opportunity has landed in our lap, and while we're not able to share the details yet, it's finally time to get the Model A back on the road after 17 months with a blown engine. There's a story...

The StanceWorks archives are full to the brim with articles, stories, and helpful pieces, each with history and heart, but many of them fall forgotten to time and the depths of the website itself. To...
Photography contributed by Charlie Scott. No, it's not 2020's "StanceWorks Off Road" annual excursion, although we wished it could have been. There's been a number of curve balls this year, which com...
With the COVID-19 shutdowns, it seems like much of Southern California has crawled to a halt. While the shop has been busy, the inability to escape on the weekends has led to an increase in personal ...
Spring rate, pre-load, progressive rates, tender springs... what does it all mean?! Across the web, there's a heap of information, some right, and some wrong. Today, we're taking a dive in on basic s...
"Better late than never," they seem to say. It's been more than a year since my latest project made its debut with H&R Springs, center stage, at SEMA 2018. After a blisteringly-fast 6-month build, I ...
"Who has time to go to a cars & coffee meet on a Wednesday morning?" We do, apparently, and surprisingly, we're not alone. Our friends at Race Service have been hosting weekly "Rise and Shine" sessio...
The months have flown far too quick. It's been 3 months already since the last Daily Grind post: our recurring inside look at the happenings of the StanceWorks Headquarters and the Protomachine shop....
These "Year in Review" pieces seem to come more and more quickly with each passing year. It's terrifying, to be honest. Just a "few short months" ago, it seems as though 2019 rolled in. I announced 1...
With each passing year, it becomes tougher and tougher to find time to escape. In all of 2019 thus far, on only two occasions have I had the opportunity to hit the trail: once for a week and a half e...
It's all but impossible to believe that we're already nearing the end of 2019. It seems like I've only just begun writing the date on checks correctly, not needing to scribble out an "18" to look mor...
"An object in motion tends to stay in motion." At least, that's what I've been told. Here at the shop, we've built up some momentum and posses what feels like considerable inertia. As StanceWorks chu...
It was, undoubtedly, the coldest night of the trip, although at just shy of 11,000 feet, with small patches of snow still on the ground, that doesn't quite come as a surprise. The clearing we had fou...
We awoke on Friday morning, perched on a mountainside at roughly 9,000ft of altitude. For me and Jim Bob, it was technically the start of Day 3, but for most of the gang, the trip was just beginning....
The E30 M3 has been, since my enthusiasm for BMW began, one of the coolest offerings from the marque, period. While it's hard to ignore machines like the M1, the E9 CSL, or even my longtime favorite,...
Just over a week ago, we hosted our second Open House at the StanceWorks Headquarters, as a celebration of sorts for 10 years of automotive content and community. As the fourth "major" event we've ho...
10 years is an incredible milestone, one I never expected to reach. It's more than a third of my life thus far, and in this past decade, I've met more incredible people than most will ever have the o...
I can tell already, getting rid of this one is going to hurt. I've bought and sold my fair share of cars at this point, and a good number have been personal builds or cars that I cherish. The "Parts ...
With the hot rod build and the rush of SEMA, it's been months since I was able to hit the trails and put my Land Cruiser to work. On top of that, a failed transfer case from mid-summer left the truck...
It's that time of year once again: a look back on my biggest moments of the past twelve months. Each year brings about a new sense of excitement as I take my first opportunity in 365 days to look bac...
If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a few million, easy. At least, that's the current exchange rate. Our friends at Driving Line and Motegi Racing recently partnered up with our ...
SEMA 2018 has finally come to an end. We're back in SoCal, and for better or worse, we're catching up on more than a week's worth of missed emails, articles, and more. For many of us, wether we look ...
There's no doubt: we don't need any more cars around here. On the other hand, how can you expect us to turn down a free E28? If you know me, you know there's a slim-to-none chance that will ever happ...
It's been a hot minute since I photographed my progress on the truck. I've taken to YouTube to document my progress, which has been a new, fun, and rewarding addition to the content I get to make, bu...
It wasn't all too long ago that I was introduced to Graeme MacPherson, and along side him, his company and product, Go Fast Campers. It was in preparation for our trip through the deserts of Utah ear...
