I'm sure I can do the bezel, and the bumper inserts shouldn't be too tough at all. What do they go for on the net?

I'll take a bezel also. And hell, while you're at it, matching pedals. Plus everything in my other post. And if you have access to it, use billet aluminum.

If you look around you can find the bezel for anywhere between $25-50 and usually really nice bumper inserts are $50-60

Yeah, not that expensive. But I gotta make it all by hand, unless the CNC machine can cut it out for me. Then I'll sell it for like $15-$20 shipped or something. I'm gonna put people out of bizznazzz.

From who? I'm not gonna make it a business though, just if somebody wants like a shift knob or e-brake handle I can make it for them. It won't be like I mass-produce things and sell them. I'll make them when someone asks for it.

I dont think youll have the right tools and materials to be honest, theres a difference between auto body torches and metal welding torches... You may not be able to put as much detail into some of these things.
I'm not welding anything into the car that would possibly screw something up. We have more than you think, there are regular welders, mig welders, acetylene torches, laves, CNC machines, drill presses, blah blah and a whole wood shop.
The plan is, go into the wood shop and make the handles of things, like the e-brake, turn signal cover, tilt steering wheel lever. I'll do that out of wood so then I can just go over to the metal shop, and make the mold out of sand and fill it with metal. Not too hard.
On the e-brake handle, how would I do the button? Like to make the button actually work.
