questions about my hood....

it has the bowtie on it so i'm guessing its from a 69 and it seems kinda flimsy....the middle of it kinda wobbles or bounces up and down. my question or questions are....
is a 69 hood the same as a 72 hood?
what can i weld underneath it to support it to make it more stable?
how do i get that bowtie off without breaking it all to hell?
and
what would be the best way to fill in the holes where the bowtie used to be?

Re: questions about my hood....

The bowtie unbolts from the backside.. Get new foam for the braces for the underside of the hood wont stop the problem but will help it out a little..

Re: questions about my hood....

you did, i'm sorry...i posted the question in the other section by accident when i meant to post it here. i wasn't sure if the same people went to both sections so i posted it again over here before there were any answers to the other one. thanks.
