With that being said, has anyone just drilled the rivets, removed the bracing, and epoxied over the bracing rivet holes?
I will add this;
from the "1970 one year only parts" thread:
I am not quoting myself to seem egotistical, but rather, if I have this wrong, I need to correct it.
I have tried to help with that ongoing thread in the hopes of better compiling all the unique features of 1970 (and to a lesser degree the 70-72) cars for the community;
If I have added something in error, I need to be corrected.

I was told that the original 1970 formula 400 had issues and cars started showing back up at dealer mid 70 with damaged or broken hoods. That's why irs a 1 year only hood. The manufacturer of the hood had problems thus they redesigned the hood making is stronger and that was standard on all 71 to 75 formula hoods. My car is a real formula and once the 70 hood is repaired I probably will open vents with a lip. Im.not concerned about selling it or value of it not too excited about selling the hood but using it.
