Bought A Knee Mill-Looking for Ideas

Ok guys, So I bought a Knee Mill to make a bracket for another project I was working on, now its just sitting there. I made my own brackets for my belt system, but want to make other stuff. What do you guys have for Ideas for parts for our cars I could make that nobody offers? Any Input would be great!

Thanks,
Mark
