Hood Fix?

Do you have welding ability?

I would find a convenient location at the back of the hood rib and cut a slot in it big enough to get a plate in there with some welded on nuts.

While at it do what ever repair to the outer metal needed to make it whole

After inserting the plate with nuts, weld up the slots created.

Basically rebuild want the factory did but maybe a bit more substantially
