It's kinda cool. The guy wanted to hide the rad etc. in the front, but he still needs access to the rad right? So he made up a mini-hood that opens up for rad access.
The way all those components are hidden in the engine bay makes it look like a life sized hot wheels car to me.

Sounds like 3 hoods are/were used. 1 full size glass hood, 1 steel front for the 'mini-hood' & 1 steel front for the rad top cover.
As near as I can tell, the idea is that you can remove the full size hood & install the mini-hood to show off the engine bay while cruising, but maintaining the front profile of the car...(like RocketRichard said..). Both hoods in the same pics make it confusing...
