I'm not too sure as to how the studs go in as my FSM has the '69 diagram. I'm thinking that I may need to drill out the spot welds to separate the plate from the hood. If anyone has an idea as to how to replace these studs, please chime in. Thanks. 1970 GTX, work in progress...

I tried to minimise the heat used and had to do quite a bit of detail grinding and filing to dress down the weld.
