Angle grinder will fix it. I cut mine off. It was a lot of work but I like it. Angle grinder takes the beak off, no problem. Angle grinder right down the center of the hood takes out that tall ridge too. I got a 71 bumper and had to use my angle grinder to shorten the corners to fit. I went on to make the grill, head light bezels, trim, scoops and front valance. Lots of careful welding & grinding, little body filler, lots of sanding, paint, polish and you're done! Oh, and she's HEMI-swapped too but that was HARD!
