Well I finally got it all put back together. I think it turned out well. Any thing that needs fixed now should be able to be done easily with bondo. Here are the mod pics.
After I cut it in half I glued some tabs in key places to reattach the halves.
After the initial reattachment. You can see the alignment issue in the profile shot.
After fighting with the issue for a while, I decided that the bottom of the "face" portion was not letting it give enough to do what I needed to do. So I cut it away from the bottom and moved it back to its original position. BINGO! The the sides are pretty well lined up.
You can see in the pics before how the face kind of recedes back into the helmet. To fix this I placed some small tabs at the upper portion of the gap in the face area and lifted everything out, pulled the sides in a little ,and glued it into place leaving only the gap at the bottom. Yes, I was watching Animaniacs.

At last, me wearing the final piece. My wife thought my eyes looked creepy peeking out. I may have to do a little modification on the eye area to widen it out a bit. But that's no biggie.
It was a little frustrating at times during this mod but I can say I'm glad I went to all the trouble instead of starting over. Now I can say I did it. Now the next step... getting it under glass and bondo. Updates to follow when that starts. Thanks to everyone for the coments and advice and especially Skip for doing this in the first place.
