Are you set on a steel hood? You can get a fiberglass hood from VFN and they’ll cut the hole in it for you for a very small amount extra.
.What hedders are you using. I have a 78 SJ car. It's a DD and I want to free up the exhaust. Back in the day (way back BTW) I had a 400 Pontiac in a 79 Cutlass. I used the A body hedders but had a problem with 1 tube. I'm looking for an off the shelf that will fit right.
Mad Dog used to offer them as part of their online catalog. I believe they got too busy with everything else and pulled all of their Pontiac offerings. I think if you call them, they will probably still make you a set. I bought a round port set for my ‘80 Lemans back when they still had them advertised.

I used chrome marking pens on two of the door panels and they turned out remarkably well. Even with adhesive promoter, adhesive and sticky chrome tape I still couldn’t get the tape to stick. It could have been the brand, maybe. What chrome stripping and adhesive promoter are you using?I've been working on putting chrome back on the door panels on my 79 go. I've been using the chrome stripping but using adhesive promoter before.
