Replica Stanley resources

HI,
I hope to focus enough when I retire to build a replica Stanley, say a model R or similar coffin nose.
There has been some talk of Modelworks selling a kit, but I have not seen any chatter in that direction lately.
Previously, there seemed to be an effort to document all the sources of components and parts, such as sheet metal hoods, bodies, engines, boilers, pumps, rims, tires, that would get a guy started....but I do not know where it is located in this forum.
I have looked at SACA and see a few drawings for things, but are there any sources that would sell drawings accurate enough to build chassis, body, etc?
Just a collection of drawings for one model car would be a great start .
I would probably wind up buying an engine and boiler, but draw a blank when it comes to locating all the other parts I would have to come up with.
The vast experience of this forum could/should be pooled so any new builds do not have to re-invent the car all over again.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
