Welder, steel backing plates, grinder, glaze/bodyfiller

Back the washer holes with steel plates, weld up the hole, grind down the welds, skim with body filler, sand and paint.

The emblem holes can be filled using only a mig without a problem, then same as above.

Is there any way to do it without welding?

and it cracks and falls out as soon as your hood flexes the slightest bit.

hahaha, never just fill holes with filler. I can tell you have never done body work before.

If you want it done right and not crack you need to weld it.

Just take the hood to a welder, it'll take 5 mins.
