Over two weeks since last update. Not much has really happened. Seems something in the garage, and particularly working on the car, doesn't agree with me. I came down with a pretty serious infection in my elbow, the second infection in the last three months, the other being on the opposite forearm. The only thing common is working on the fiberglass, but this time I had rubber sleeves on. So, I really don't know what caused it.
Anyway, I'm still on break until it fully heals up.
Here are the pics from the last time I worked on it.
Pulled the hood off. The darned thing is heavier than the rest of the front, combined.
Then I built up the sides to fill in the area previously cut out and give it a finished edge when open. It also greatly strengthened the top portion that was added.
When that was all setting up, I added a "decorative" lip at the top of the hood. This was a part I cut out of the original 308 hood, and it will be molded in to the arches on the sides of the hood.
I also made the fill piece for the corner of the hood. I don't have a good pic, but it's at theright corner of this one.
That's it for now. Tune in later for the next great adventure in car mods. 
Edit... Found one more. I molded in the area between the lights and the hood.

Looks great Bob;
I like the way you are feathering everything together to give that extra finished look.
I hear you on the fiberglassing. Stopped me on my fiberglassing activities. I was getitng pretty bad headaches even fully suited up. I had to stop as well..... Nasty stuff.
Looking forward to updates when you are feeling better.
Cheers
Don

Hard to believe it's been three months already since my last update.
Nothing really to say. My arm healed well, but I was burnt from all the time spent, plus gun shy from the infection. Then October and Halloween prep came and went. Then November came with work, travel, and Thanksgiving. More work came with December, along with yard work and a ton of leaves. Now the snow is falling hard. And here we are.
Fiberglassing is out in the cold, so hopefully the winter will bring an end to the seat fabrication, and any other fab.
Happy Holidays and a safe and merry christmas everyone.
Bob

Merry Christmas, Bob. I'm glad you are recovering! The car isn't going anywhere... it'll be there when you're ready.
