Hi,

This is my first post on this community. So, first of all, I want to introduce my car:

I've been restoring it for a couple of years... I believe is from the 70'.

I have this problem. The screw for the front hood support is broken...

Do you know if the screw is part of the body or if there is nut inside? What can I do?? I tryed to take the screw out but it won't roll..

Thanks!!

If you are trying to do a surgical job, and not gaff up the paint, I suggest you very carefully drill out the stud and replace it with a "nutsert".
Then you could install a shoulder bolt, or a stud and nut, so it looks unadulterated.

That's a nice looking car!

Good luck, Mondshine

Thanks Mondshine! That's a great idea. I didn't knew the "nutsert". I will try to find them.
