One AMT Buick valve cover, Mono 'Green Hornet' logo decals, & lakes pipes -- please?

[Wickersham Humble]

Need some crazy miscellenous stuff: one AMT 1/25 chrome valve cover (from the '40 Ford kit, c. 1960 (finally have a kit project for it, and one is gone!), the 'Green Hornet' logo decals from the Monogram bucket-T kit of that name, and some old skool lakes pipes -- shorties, of approximately 2-3/4 in. long, for a '49 Ford custom roadster I began back in '63.  Really be nice to score these for ongoing projects!

Please if you have any of these small, esoteric items, let me give you a trade for them?  My stuff is mostly sixty-years old or more, but you never know until you ask!  I feel like a bum begging for stuff without sending something in return!     Ole' Wick, in N CA

Had high hopes for these requests; thanks for viewing, at least!  Still want them. Wick

Pretty sure that I can help you out with the Green Hornet decals... I'll have to check my stash tomorrow... Will let you know.

[Wickersham Humble]

Marty, thanks, that's cool!  Be aware, I don't need the entire sheet, just the two 'hornet' decals.  I'm building a resin 1/24 scale of my step-dad's 1952 White 3000 tilt-cab (bought new back then, as a semi-tractor) as a ramp truck using a Ford C-series cab-over chassis, and he always called the two-tone green rig 'The Green Hornet'.  

If I have anything you might need in trade...?  My decals are mostly 60 years old now, but some fresher!  Wick

I am certain I have the valve covers... I'll get with you later today.

[Sledsel]

These? 

[Wickersham Humble]

Not actually the original 'stock' type, but could do. Sorry to put you through all this hassle!  My original is just the unpainted 'tin' version, with the lateral cross-grooves.  Looks distinctly Buick Nailhead, for sure.  Thx!  Wick

[Sledsel]

I will dig out my Buick Riviera kit tomorrow, I think it has the steel covers.

[Sledsel]

Sorry man, the Riviera did not have the stamped steel valve covers and nothin' in my parts box.

Good luck on your search.

Sounds like the ones in the AMT '62 Electra kit maybe?

[Wickersham Humble]

Them's the same.  I got the engine from one of the old AMT Trophy kits; '36 Ford coupe, I think.  Let me know if you find any?

Story: In about 1986, I needed some sheet metal welding done on a '55 Nomad we'd adopted, and didn't feel I was up to the risk, so engaged a crazy old professional welder to section in a rocker/part fender (Nomad's rust!) and was trying to get a price guesstimate out of him.  He said he'd heard that I also built models, and was finishing a '41 Chevy coupe as a replica of one he'd drag-raced 'back in the day' -- and that if I had a 1/25 Buick Nailhead engine to make it accurate, he'd just swap his work for that -- and I did!  He did beautiful work, and went away chortling about his Buick mill, so we were both happy!  Thanks, Wick
