I looked up project shorty and he is using TIG to weld the joint. He also has
pictures of the vertical cuts I mentioned to make the transition. Awful lot of
work without much reward. He was using a thin cut-off blade in a grinder. A
pneumatic die grinder works much better.

i've always heard it referred to as pancaking a hood.
you do this by pie cutting thin strips out of or into the hood.
an internet search for both terms resulted in a lot of pictures of finished
hoods.
custom classic trucks pancaked the hood on project shorty

but it's a 71 chevy truck with a big ass square hood
this guy had a similar shaped hood, he also makes it look easy

looks like all you do is: pie cut, lower and then spend the next month
blending... :)
keep looking and keep us updated
