For as long as I’ve been interested in automotive photography, and even before then when I was just a high schooler drooling over photos of modified foreign cars online, I’ve been a huge fan of StanceWorks. The inherent ability of Mike Burroughs, his staff and their contributors to successfully capture everything from the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona to a BMW X5 blasting through the mud, to domestic pickups and lowriders with equal passion and quality has always set a high bar for photographers and publications to aspire to.
With that being said, and with some of my fangirling out of the way, imagine my excitement when I learned StanceWorks was opening their bay doors and allowing the public in the garage that houses Rusty Slammington!
The Open House in Costa Mesa was a gathering of car owners that loved anything with an engine, and it showed. The variety of makes, models, and years really ran the gambit, but the quality and love shown through each car in attendance was consistent. Dominic Le’s Hakotora, Amir Bentatou’s wide body 1976 Porsche 911S, Keith Ross’ 1976 Volvo Amazon and many other fine examples made their way out to bask in the weekend sun. You can view them and a sampling of others in attendance in our gallery.
One more thing before you go, keep an eye out for the next open house. This event was amazing, and it was only the first one – I believe it will only get better!
