Hood Hinge Pin gone

No, I can see the hole of the missing pin through the door jamb. Since I am not a welder, I wondered if I can drill through the hole and place a bolt from the inside of the upper dash. Can you take a photo since you have your fender off and post it?
I found it in the bottom of the Driver's Side Kick Panel. So, if your fender is off and you find the pin, it can be welded back on. It looks like you have to either attach a wire to the pin and fish it up through the kick panel access and weld it from the outside. I'm going to replace it with a bolt, washer and a lock nut.
