1970 Road Runner with Air Grabber Hood Question

[RoadRunner1970]

Can anyone tell me how to get to the bolts that secure the air grabber box under the hood. I had about 4 that broke off short and was trying to figure out how to replace them. It seems the metal piece that the screws run through does not come off?:thinker::thinker:

They are actually studs that are welded from the back side....between the hood skin and under structure. You will likely have to come up with a fix to make your own studs and tack weld them to the bottom side of the hood flange. The heads will have to be very thin so that you will not crack your air box when you install it. Good luck!
