I just had a similar problem with the 70 Mach-1 that my brother and I are restoring. We had a door hinge bolt break off in the captured nut. We ended up welding a nut to a washer, then cut the hole out the same size as the washer, then welded the washer to the hole with the nut facing in. (Hope that makes sense)
