For years I've watched as Riley Stair has worked diligently on his Magnum Opus: the 1970 Pontiac Trans Am we first featured following SEMA 2018 where it made its debut and, without surprise, stole th...
“That’s ridiculous,” exclaimed Les Nimmo, bordering somewhere between a laugh and a grimace. It was the first thing he ever said to me, following my explanation of the problem at hand. For reasons no...
" embodies fabrication that is, in my opinion, surpassed only by the narrowest of margins by Mercedes-Benz." It's not what we imagine when we think of when we imagine Hondas, but it's what the legend...
The Hummer name has, for better or worse, always been synonymous with environmental devastation. No brand name has more firmly placed their carbon footprint than Hummer, or at least that’s what we’ve...
There it was, parked under a tree. Three years of rain, snow, leaves, and dirt shrouded what was once a beautiful example of a 1973 Mercedes Benz 450SE, but instead, it sat with 3 inches of standing ...
Imola Red. Named for the famed racing circuit that plays home to the Italian Grand Prix, it represents one factor: speed, and it has become a cult favorite of BMW fans since its first appearance on t...
There's something rather difficult to express about the pillarless coupe as a whole. There have been a few examples brought to market, most of which seemingly get remembered as staples in their lineu...
Earlier this year, we took a dive into the information behind springs, looking at everything from how they work to developing a better understanding of how to pick a proper spring for your applicatio...
It's rather on-the-nose, with a name like that: the Audi V8 doesn't leave much room for guessing what lies under the hood. Introduced in 1988 as a flagship model for the marque, the V8 brought about ...
Born and raised amongst cars thanks to an uncle with a penchant for Datsun 510s, mini-trucks, and classics all around, it comes as no surprise that Sergio Vega's story isn't all too different from th...
Rob Dern's infatuation with Mercedes's C126 platform began early: through movies and pop culture, the 560 SEC rose quickly to prominence as an end-all in automotive prowess through the '80s and '90s....
When it comes to Stateside car culture, it's difficult to remember the Audi marque much further back than the 1980s, with the Audi Fox standing as one of only a few prior examples most enthusiasts mi...
It's admittedly an abstract concept here on StanceWorks: celebrating an almost completely stock car, rather than a counterpart built to be something wholly individual; however, it's not quite what yo...
A catalogue of work more than a decade long is both a blessing and a curse. While we're appreciative to have told thousands of stories of folks from across the world, there's no doubt that content ma...
What you see in these photos is the culmination of dedication and drive: most people buy project cars to build slowly over time, to one day create a vision of what they have, while others keep changi...
"Pictures don't do it justice." It's a line we'v all heard before, and these days, it's to be taken with a grain of salt. When it comes to Mateusz Karwowski, though, it's something to be heeded, for ...
An incredible photo set, unposted from the StanceWorks Archives. Photographed in May of 2017, Keith Ross captured the StanceWorks "Parts Car" in what is undoubtedly the best photo set on record. Buil...
We all own cars and trucks for different reasons, largely to fill practical needs of transportation, while some fill selfish voids that we convinced ourselves that we have. I was left with a gap when...
Rust. It's something nearly all of us inevitably deal with during the course of our automotive hobby or career. Known as "cancer," and rightly so, it's a deathblow seemingly any car in which it goes ...
Some will say the Volvo 200 series is, by any measure, lackluster. Its only body lines are those that are required, and it's shape is that of the car we all seemed to draw in kindergarten. Its massiv...
Thorough. It's an adjective I believe most folks imagine describes their build, and in ways, it often does. From wheels, tires, suspension, and brakes, to engines, drivelines, interiors, and more, it...
It's hard to imagine that a car like Robert Redlich's 1958 Mercedes 190SL is merely "making due," a stop-gap of sorts. Believe it or not, it's "settling," but that's only because one of the most icon...
If you weren't aware that Evo Wagons existed in any form, don't worry: you aren't alone. Prior to now, I too would have assumed it's base-model Lancer up-conversion; however, that's far from the case...
Subverting expectations: from movies, books, and pop culture, to music, news, and yes, even cars too, it's a key element of story telling and artistry. It's "the twist" that aims to keep anything and...
Introduced as a "compact executive car" in 1986, the B3-generation Audi 80 is likely not what comes to mind when terms like "hot hatch" or "sports coupe" are thrown around. Although many variants spo...
