Many easy and cheap things can be done, on my old black sport I painted the rocker cover and cam cover white and painted the inlet black, made a difference and was cheap to do.

Think you can also modify the oil cap by taking the yellow part of the cap off so your left with the black part of it

if you like the whole euro and smooth thing, perhaps get some smooth inner arch liners, hide as much wiring as possible, relocate the battery etc etc, few people have done it with redtops and LET's so I would imagine its possible to do it with a smallblock too.
