I have to get some paint on my hood. The previous owner (before my dad) had the whole hood skimmed with bondo. It has been chipping off and exposing bare metal. I have to remove it so what is the easiest or best way of re-mounting the hood onto it's hinges in the correct location? It lines up great now!

I used a center punch and marked a few places on the outside of the hinge and hood
