H5 Build

HI, I am to the point I wish to start a steam car.
I like the H5. I have a line on a 20hp engine, and will build the car around it.
Starting from the ground up, will need the axle castings, and wheel spindles .
Does anyone know who might have these patterns?

I'll cetainly need many questions answered as I proceed, expect this is a 3-5 yr project.
I am planning on coming to the auction Sept 8, and hope to snag a few parts, and meet some folks.
If you have any parts that would fit the H5, Let me know.
Tom

I want to thank Allen Blazick for his incredible assistance to a newcomer, and lining me up with an almost complete H5 project car (parts and body).

FYI, ...He also has a similar model R project car available.

My first order of business is to order rims,and wheels,considering the leadtime. I have heard the Amish make good wheels and have done so for other car owners, and I would like to hear any feedback on this subject. Calimers is certainly the gold standard, but I want to investigate all options.
Thinking Stanweld type rims,with removable rings ...just need to decide wheel size before ordering.I am sorta thinking the 34x 4 tire would be a good fit, and would like to hear comment....that would be a 26 inch rim. Coker offers 27 inch rims as well, but I am not seeing tires that will fit
