1969 Dart GTS Hood emblems

The hood ridge, I am wondering if some if not most of it could be taken down with a belt sander or some other means? It doesn't look like the ridge is a sharp protruding ridge, maybe the hood could be re-worked a little to remove the ridge? I have two original hoods 1-GTS 1-Swinger both are ok,,, but I also picked up an AMD hood and yes I noticed this ridge that is not factory, I may look into trying to knock some of it down making it less pronounced and maybe and emblem will fit?
Thoughts?......
