A minor, non-photographic update:
Today I fiddled, fussed, tweaked and then finally joined the 2 sections using drywall screws to hold things in place. Then I mixed and applied some epoxy to permanently bond them together. Some of the screws will come out once the epoxy cures, while others will be forever entombed inside all the aerodynamic goodness.
EDIT: almost forgot - good news! I won't need to add an actuator OR carve a finger hole to work the hood release lever. The hood lifts just high enough that I can get between it and the top of the grille block to reach the lever. Woo.
