Wouldn't you want to cut on the most vertical parts of the hood possible to minimize offset? I would have thought that would be at the bottom on the sides or as close to that as possible, and the cut wouldn't have to be a straight line, but the nose on the other hand, would be another story altogether. Would a curved line cut actually be stronger and potentially less visible when completed? Should be interesting to see how this plays out.

As for my build, nothing happening lately but a Lokar shifter and a brake pedal mount have both been ordered so I will be back at it soon.
