I found a good variety of parts at BPS and Cabela's. I bought some a while back and put the hook and body together and gave them to Big Mack on the board here to finish. I have enough unfinished projects. The heads were preformed foam and the hooks had a kink in them to help them stay connected and keep the hook from rotating inside the body. Even if you made the heads I think that an investment in the right hooks would be a plus. Foam bodies will use a latex paint made for foam and plastics, but cork would let you use any kind of paint. Sounds like a fun project, keep us posted.
