all you custom people out there......

alright before i do my motor swap im looking to make everything nice on my car with the least amount of cash as possible (tight on cash due to T2 swap). anyhow i mean like things like the radiator cover made of sheet metal and the guage panel for under the stereo and things of that sort, i have access to a full machine shop and almost any materials i need. so please ideas with photos and also a short description would be great and please no flaming im just trying to keep myself busy in a productive manner while waiting for my motor. thanks -mike
