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
Other vehicles:
56 Chevy 2-door BelAir sedan
56 Chevy 210 4-door sedan
57 Chevy 210 4-door sedan
1962 327/340HP Corvette
1961 Willys CJ3B Jeep
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.
Here is the one that tried to cast in Brass ,
I have tried to contact him but nothing Back , He might had Gave up
I think his name was Bill Hunt ??

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.
