Broken hood latch bolt
So, I usually try to avoid posting about stupid stuff I do, but in this case I'm hoping someone might have a better idea than removing the nose of the car...I REALLY don't want to do that.
As you may have guessed, I broke the head off the hood latch bolts (yes, both...I'm thick apparently) and so I'm guessing I'll have to drill them out. Looks to be not such a big deal with the nose off the car, but I'm wondering if I might be able to get a right-angle drill in there.
Anybody else ever do this? How'd you handle it?

Yeah, hood pins on a street car is too poser for me. The car is too nice to make it all ghetto too.
Think I'm gonna go get a right angle attachment for my Dremel and see what I can manage.
