RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

I have used drawings from Antique Ordnance Publishers for all of my carriages.

oprod,
Hope I don't burst your bubble here.
There are several outfits offering full scale metal kits for a #1 carriage.  They range in price from $3000 to $4000.
No one is likely to have that sitting around.
Wheels will run from $1550 to $2500 a pair depending on where you get them.
Now you have spent $5000 and haven't bought the first piece of wood. :P
There is a reason #1 carriages cost so much. :o
