Before street rods I was into Vettes big time. The Vette people can be traditionalist to the end. I am not. I made soome changes to a newer Vette and took a ton of slack for it. Now I see the same items and ideas on hundreds of them.
I decided to mold glass covers to cover the ugly engine and do a paint scheme that was something that was very dear to me and a strong passion.
People said why....I said why not?
I gave the patterns to a few and now I see tons of stuff.
Here are a few pics of those enigne covers ( I ended up doing 2 sets)
Just som eglass and paint but it changed the entire car.
So bottom line do what makes you happy

I don't even like hockey, but I got to say those covers are way kewl!!!!!!! Some day let us in on the process you went through putting them together, same concept could work on a lot of things, couldn't it????
