W-25 Twist locks on steel hood

Any reason this couldn't be done with a little cutting and welding? Don't want the expense of a new hood, but think this would be a cool touch on the OEM hood. Anyone ever try this?

although it may be blasphemy , another thought with a lot less fabrication would be to use Ford Mustang/ Torino twist locks from like 1970 these just require a hole cut as the cup provides the seat just thinking out loud

That exact thought crossed my mind....still may be on the table. I'm certainly not worried about keeping a '72 Supreme factory original.
