Free metal, free fabrication.. what do you make?

[fiftytakedowns]

I am taking a metal fabrication class at The univ. and I need to come up with a final project. I need to fabricate something 8 or less hours of work. Wondering what Ideas people had.

Chassis braces....
Skid Plates....
Strut braces....

Plenumbs... I dont know what seems like the best IDea?

cars.... 2002 Turbo/318is

thanks.

I'd build myself a mandrel bent, 3" single exhaust with v-band clamps for easy removable. :p

I am taking a machining class, thinking about making a strut bar. Not so much machining there is to it tho... for the mounting plates maybe, the rest is welding.

Aluminum trim pieces?:D Shift knob, e-brake handle, etc?

a cage would be so epic, however not sure it could be done in 8 hours..

what about sway bars

i always assumed that there was a considerable amount of materials engineering for sways. if they could do the job fab'd out of billet or stock, that would be pretty cool.
