Thanks for the information, I added the letters to my 1985. I prev had a 1981 and I like the hood with letters and so I added just now and hope it turns out great.
I used the 2m weatherstripping gasket (black snot) to put on the letters after I cut off the posts. I didn't want to drill holes in the hood. Also, that comes off with gas so I can remove easy.
There is that tape, but I didn't fill the letters up enough with liquid nail and got impatient. I hope they hold up well. I wish now I had filled the letters up better
