My goal is to make a lightweight nose that will bolt to the fenders.

That pile of OEM parts is heavy compared to your whittled-down assemly.
If you come up with something that's light weight that will bolt up, send me a PM. I'm interested. Will need to support lights and directional being a street car in all In the meantime I'm moving ahead with unmodified factory steel parts.
