Check out Danny Iacoangeli at www.scenesunltd.com You'll be AMAZED to see some of the stuff he has. And you WON'T find a NICER set of Finned brake drums ANYWHERE!!! TRUST me on this one!!!

I haven't seen the ones mentioned above but I'd say the best set I've seen are Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland's. They're killer!

No offense intended at all, Nate. But maybe you should just take a look for yourself . I did. I bought some from Danny. they ARE nice!!!!!

You can see Norm's finned Buick drums in the center of the pic below...

They were mastered by Bob Dudek, from this:

BTW, I went to the link that George provided, and I must say, Dan does make some impressive stuff! I do notice that he does not mention where he is. That matters to me... I just want to know where the vendor is. He does appear to offer an e-mail contact, as well as Facebook.

One more plug for Norm's Finned Drums! You can't go wrong with them as others have said.......they're very accurate for whatever you want to represent.

Here's a pic of 'em on my '57 Corvette chassis when it was under construction years ago............

The AMT '62 Buick Electra 225 kit has one. Yep, one. So you'd need four of those kits to net a complete set of four.

Jon, Danny's located in Monroe Michigan, and he's a member of the DMCC. In my opinion, they're JUST as nice as Norm's an cheaper too. ;)

Lots of old AMT kits had just one, it was supposed to be used with that corner of the suspension jacked up as it would be in a show. My first thought on this thread was, " Hey doesn't everyone have a bunch of those in their parts box?"

[RJWood]

The AMT showrod kit Ice Cream Truck has 2 good ones.

In addition to the '62 Buick, the AMT '65 Riviera and 1966 Wildcat all have the finned drums. The ones in the Wildcat are very nicely-done.

Some of AMT's Merc releases had several (6, I think) as stanchion bases. You can see one on the front.
