Stock hood, hinge/strut delete?

Well, picked up a stock power bulge hood to replace the crunched one on the '89 for basically nothing. Only problem is the hinge mounting bolt holes are fried (like somebody took a cutting torch to the bolts).

I've been considering just going with 4 pins instead of jerry rigging up some nuts and bolts to affix the hinges. Has anybody done this? Whats the best way? I was thinking maybe something like an extra set of the hood bumpstops from thge front off a junkyard car could do the trick out back.
