Default Lost and found

I've been hunkered in, staying warm, and trying to finish some projects since Christmas. One of the things I've been looking for is a Quest parts assortment that I bought via Ebay in 2001-02. I've made multiple trips into my storage area, gone through ever cabinet and desk drawer, all to no avail. Yesterday I was out looking for a usable scrap of BT-50 for an orphaned nose cone. While I was looking, I glanced at one of my open storage containers and noticed a kinda gross looking bag. It was my Quest assortment, and it had been sitting under the cabinets that I've been destroying for the past few weeks. All this time it's been right in front of me. That merits a "DOH!" When I bought this I was disappointed to find that all the cones and transitions didn't fit anything in my tube stash and tossed it aside. Now I know the quirks of Quest/MPC and where to find the tubes, but the only rocket I can find that uses anything here is the Redstone Maverick, which I have at least part of the fin assembly for. Oh, also a fleet of Nike Smokes, but that's an easy one. Anyone got any ideas as far as potential MPC projects I could take on with this stuff?
