How do you remove the hood letters on my 68 chevy. I'm cutting the oxidation with some compound and i want to get under the letters not just around them. but I don't have any idea how to take them off. Any help would be great. Ill be happy when I my hood turns from Grey to blue!

Thanks for the help.

There are nuts on the back side. Be careful not to lose the nuts in the hood and be careful not to break the studs on the letters.
