K-Gap makes the rubber moldings for the runningboard (takes a bit of skill to mount them) and USED to offer the hood ornament (and maybe its component parts). You might want to contact them to find out. However, be advised that certain people have experienced long delays in ordering from K-Gap lately, while others have their orders delivered immediately.

Thirty-five years ago I needed a hood ornament so actually carved the three fins out of solid brass bars, using a file. Then had them plated, and used welded rod for studs. Gotta say they don't look half bad. Also, had a guy in my shop turn a new plastic "carrot" on a lathe, from my pattern, out of transparent red acrylic rod. That too looked rather handsome, and I have thanked him constantly ever since then.

Yes. And, there are several guys in the Club who make castings, who might be persuaded to do some of these, if there was any demand for them. And assuming a decent, usable one could be found as a pattern. If you wanted to ''adopt" a reproduction project like this and were willing to help finance it, then you might be able to do a deal where you'd eventually get your money back, possibly a tiny bit of profit, and (of course) the three new "wings" you desire.
