It Doesn’t Equal Ten – Jason Whipple’s 1981 B2 Audi 4000 5+5

"What year is it?" It's undoubtedly the most common question asked to classic car owners, and one we come to love and embrace. "What is it," on the other hand, is a bit less common, and conversely, o...

“I’ll Never Sell It” – A New Chapter for Rusty Slammington

"I'll never sell it." It's something many of us have said about one car or another, and typically, it doesn't hold true. I can't begin to count the number of StanceWorks feature cars that have been d...

The Daily Grind – Protomachine

Now more than ever, I've found myself reflecting upon StanceWorks's past. With ten years on record, there's a lot to look back upon, ranging from friends made and nights wrenching, to photo shoots th...

Bastos’ Best – Michel Willems’s 1987 BMW E30 M3

Aesthetics – Maui Brandhoff’s ’65 FF Shelby Daytona Coupe – VARA GTO Class Champion

Just six Shelby Daytona Coupes were built. Having famously beaten Ferrari in 1964, they're both the rarest and perhaps most coveted Shelby Cobras of all. However, that hasn't stopped folks from build...

Let Loose – Matt Bomer’s 1986 Ford XF Fairmont Ghia

I'm excited for this one. Truly, wildly, and fanatically excited. Simply put, it's one of my favorite feature cars, period. I've written my fair share of features too. In fact, it looks like StanceWo...

Right as Rain – Armand Mariano’s 1995 Mercedes Benz S124 E320 Estate

Armand Mariano's story of automotive enthusiasm begins just as many others: it was his disassembly and reconstruction of his childhood Matchbox cars as a young boy that cemented his interest in being...

#AFlat6LoveAffair – Bart Kuyken’s 1970 Porsche 911 2.2T

For Sale – The StanceWorks E28 M5 Group A Tribute

The Crawat Files – Maarten Camman’s F20 1-Series Hatch

Any Brew You Want: Keith Ross’s 1968 RT40 Toyopet Corona

I should probably be ashamed of using a The Fast and the Furious quote as a title, but truth be told, I'm not. Not in the least. When opportunities present themselves, it's best to take the shot. Whe...

From the Reels: The 1983 IMSA Ford Mustang GTP Program

Admittedly, GTP-era prototype racers are bound to be hit or miss. I can't fault a reader for finding them all but impossible to relate to. Sharing roots with modern LMP racing, GTP cars' elongated fo...

Changing Hands – Jeremy Whittle’s 2009 BMW 135i

With a keen eye, this car may look familiar. In 2015, Antoine Spignardo made the move from east coast to west, and with him came his 135i, featured in our article, Power & Poise. Recently, though, An...

The Austrian Way – WCP’s Turbocharged M50-Swapped 1970 BMW E3 2800 Sedan

Historically, it's coupes that get the love. There's something iconic about a two-door's profile and their sportier disposition. Sedans, on the other hand, are born and bred as a means to an end, a w...

StanceWorks Off Road – A Day Trip to Find Snow

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...

A Venomous Bite – Seb Polit’s Dodge Viper GTS Coupe on the Streets of Poland

My Year In Review: 2018

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...

Dirty Roots – Alex Ciceu’s S52-Swapped E30 M3

Photography by Daniel Piker Every car has a story, some far more interesting than others. Hand-me-downs, barn finds, long-term searches and heart-felt builds; I swear I've heard them all. That is, of...

American Standards – The Eurowise Turbo LS-Swapped 1969 Mercedes W108 280s

For shop owners like Mike Ngo of Eurowise in North Carolina, there are clients that keep the doors open, and clients that make the business worth running. Few shop owners, if any, dream of oil change...
