What really is there left to say about Nakai-san and his now famous brand Rauh Welt Begriff? Roughly six years ago RWB could have been considered a niche brand known only to those obsessed with, or living in, Japan but today RWB is a house hold name among enthusiasts. Behind some of the most popular Porsche builds…
About a year ago I received an email from then stranger Bob Ward, asking if I would be interested in shooting his project ’52 GMC 9700. Inside the email Bob included a few images along with a link to his build thread on 67-72trucks.com. After giving the thread a quick skim –I’ve since read it several times…
Kustoms Never Die, those exact words adorn the inside cover of my own personal copy of the Jalopy Journal. Figuratively, that phrase means the art of customizing cars –in the traditional custom with a ‘K’ sense– will never go out of style or fade from memory. Every kustom car, still with us or not, is remembered…
With the chassis of Project Why Wait steadily humming along its time I start gathering parts for the cab. Like most trucks of this era mine does need some rust repair. Cab corners, toe boards, things of that nature. Repair, rather than modification, is in order for all areas except the firewall. The firewall is one…
It’s been two years since both the last time a Volkswagen Beetle was featured on the Stance Is Everything, and the last time a Taylor’d Customs build was featured, which is far too long for either. The “People’s Car” is no stranger to the Taylor stable with at least two —and sometimes three— kicking around the shop…
My first encounter with Miro’s Camaro was unfinished, cut up, and aired out sitting inside Cyrious Garageworks, and even in that very unfinished state it was obvious something incredible was in the works. Just over a week ago I had my most recent encounter with the car, and that’s when it dawned on me that it’s highly unlikely…
Basic Builds mastermind Rob Anzit recently got the chance to spend some time with Mike Pimenta (@mike_s2k) and his ’07 Honda s2000. Bagged on Airrex struts, sitting on K3 Projekt Wheels, and sporting a host of both cosmetic and functional upgrades Mike’s car makes an excellent subject for the short video Rob produced below. Rob’s previous…
There are some people who make building a car a very public spectacle. I’m not talking about those who share their builds in order to benefit others and get help along the way, I’m talking about people who tease endlessly and boisterously make claims that their project is going to ‘kill the game’ and ‘set the standard’. Then there…

Well, it’s been just a bit of time since my last update hasn’t it? First, happy new year, second don’t worry. Work, a lot of it, in fact, has been going on while I’ve been away from the computer. First thing’s first, as you may have seen on Instagram the truck is back from paint….
