I've never heard of such a thing . I'm skeptical they even exist and I can't find anything on the internet about them. There are reproduction cast ones from either brass or aluminum.
56 Nomad, Ramjet 502, Viper 6-speed T56, C4 Corvette front and rear suspension

56 Chevy 2-door BelAir sedan
56 Chevy 210 4-door sedan
57 Chevy 210 4-door sedan

2001 Porsche Boxster S
2003 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD Duramax
2019 GMC Sierra Denali Duramax
Even the aluminum and brass ones have been nonexistent at times. Don't know the current status.
Also seems like the eyebrow would almost have to be a casting.
The link to the manufacturer was posted on THAT other site.
I've never heard of such... Post a link if you can, or something... My suspicion if you read something on the other site, it was from a 'misinformed' poster...
The cost of making stamping equipment for these 6 pieces would be very expensive for the small numbers of cars that might purchase the parts...
Kindig had a set made for the 55 Nomad build.

Kendig isn't a manufacturer.. and nothing he might do on one of the cars they build would surprise me. I watched that show, recall them discussing some problems with the Nomad chrome, but don't recall it being 'solved' by making stainless pieces. I just looked for a video of the program to rewatch it, but couldn't find the entire show.
Actually KINDIG is a manufacturer, just not of the Nomad trim.The trim for the show was done at a foundry from brass.

I thought this thread was concerning some mfg making 55 Nomad chrome stamped from *stainless*.... ie. OP wrote in part:
"Has any one seen the new 55 Nomad front end, fender & spear chrome made from Stainless steel sheet Metal ?"
------------------------------
and Florida 57 posted: "The link to the manufacturer was posted on THAT other site."... and later followed up with ... "Kindig a set made for the 55 Nomad build." .. and later stated the Kendig set was made from 'brass'...

No one is questioning that various people have reproduced (by casting) the '55 Nomad 6-pc chrome set in brass, and aluminum, and even in Zinc (pot metal) once upon a time, but no one has put forth any credible data for 'someone' mfg'ing it by stamping stainless steel. I doubt VERY seriously if that has ever been done...
