If we do it again, I probably won't be needing to cut anything up, as we'd be going some other route. But I'd still like to entertain the idea of using the hood we've got.
Another option would be to

this hood on a stock Bronco to check fitment.
IF this hood ever goes into production, the design will most likely be given to somebody who knows what they are doing. We'd make no money on it at all, just have our name attached to it (the Flatliner hood, or something similar).
Not sure how it'll play out, but it's fun to entertain the idea and gauge interest!
We'd like to do other Bronco parts, as well, but it is totally dependent on what reproducible items get incorporated on the Flatliner Bronco.
