Just what I was looking for
Pretty sure you can find anything else you might need for those here... http://www.lurepartsonline.com/Online-Store/Hard-Body-Bass-Baits/
Thanks Rocky. Much appreciated.
Great.... another cool thing to add to my to do list.
Oh yeah... They have all sorts of parts and kits to build just about any type of tackle. I was trying to recall some of the others I used to visit for such goodies...
This one is also great - https://www.jannsnetcraft.com/lure-making-parts/ - In fact, it's probably a better site for such. I purchased way more goodies from Janns than I did Lure Parts, just happened to get an e-mail from Lure Parts the other day, making them easier to find when I ran across the post.

Honestly, if you like playing with fishing tackle Marc, the best sources of tackle to play with are garage sales and estate auctions. Find the old tackle boxes with the dozen or so rusted up lures, spoons, spin baits, and the old faithful red and white fishing bobber. Find a pattern that your local fishes bite on occasionally, or simply one that's fun to paint that looks like it might catch fish, clean them all up, and paint a bunch of them to see if they do catch fish.
You can usually pick the tackle box up for a few bucks, you'll need a $10 air brush from Harbor Freight, can of DNA and Mineral Spirits, a few cheap artist brushes from Wally World, assortment of paints, some glitter maybe, clear coat, assortment of split rings and hooks for the different size lures. Strip the lures down, give them a bath, sand with 200 - 600 grit paper, wipe down with DNA, and paint away. Sprinkle a little glitter in first layer of clear coat, then hit 'em with a second and you're good to go.
I did a couple Perch/Firetiger paint job/pattern variants on a bunch of used goodies, years ago, that it didn't matter what it was on, it caught fish. Had bought a couple boxes that were loaded with Daredevils, we're talkin triple digits, over 50 of them in one box, and I had an assortment of crankbaits from several boxes, bunch of lures I'd parked because they wouldn't catch fish, painted it ALL. I did good!! Had one lure I'd carried in my tackle box for years, looked like it should catch fish, simply didn't, could not buy a bite on it. Repainted that sucker, and OMG did it catch fish!!

I have come to believe that just because I think it looks good, does not mean the fish will think the same....
What color did you paint that one?
Same perch/firetiger - color/pattern - I'll have to see if I can find one of them. Think I have a couple daredevils left in the tackle box, well one of the tackle boxes, somewhere, maybe... 
I’m a former hard-core scuba diver. Over the years found a lot of cool stuff to include guns, purses, a brief case and probably 100 bicycles. Cars too. Yes a Corvette. At one time had a garbage can full of fishing poles. I had several paint cans full of lures, mainly flatfish and spin N glows. In the fall fishmen were out for salmon and steelhead and would hang up on some submerged irrigation equipment in the Columbia River. I would go there every year and cleanup on the goodies. Gave all the fishing stuff away last time I moved. When I first found this snag some of the flatfish were clear after wobblying in the current for years. Anyway fishing lures will soon be a monthly challenge for our wood turning club. Cheers.
Talked to a kid who took diving classes up in ND, and one of their certification dives is below Garrison damn. He said they pulled up several rods and reels below the wing walls, few other assorted goodies. Ran across a snag below the dam that he said had a wad of lures you couldn't even begin to comprehend, several feet in diameter, 15 ft or more long. He was headed for it, when the instructor grabbed him and drug him away. Took him topside and told him, you do not ever mess with that in current!! That could get SERIOUSLY UGLY in a hurry.
Cool Rocky. Ended up in Bismarck twice, each time for three or four days on quick jobs. Friendly folks there. Tried to entice me to dive at a dam to see sturgeon. Couldn’t justify spending the time to do that but did go fishing one evening. Think we were catching bass.
Yeah, that would have been Garrison Dam. Have heard lots of stories about the fish on both sides. The large sturgeon tales, typically hold above the dam in the deep waters of Lake Sakakawea.
Made some change as a kid going to the dam and finding jigs in the rocks when the water was low. Sell them back to the fishermen later. Used to dive for golf balls too but the managers kicked us out after they figured they could do the whole thing themselves. Fun times.
