Probably a silly question but do the bolts the front bumper on a 70 Ghia get bolted in by going through the front hood?

The 70 model has the same front bumper as preceding years and the support bars / mounts would go through here....

....and you bolt 'em in by reaching in through the trunk. There are captive nuts that line up with the support bars.
