I was just asking

I know many have tried cast brass , aluminium but who knows whats next ?


Thanks Sid

3900.00 for the full set. A fiend of mine is looking for some. I still have my 55 Nomad. It's spears and eyebrows are good.

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.

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.

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.
