I had the bumps on my 69 "repaired" 40 years ago. I wish now that I hadn't. Now the repairs are starting to show. The bumps looked better. I have also seen on other boards where people feel better buying a car with the bumps. They know at least that part of the car has not been molested. There was a post on another board outlining the procedure to address the bumps without disturbing the paint. As stated, it is very labor intensive, but the people who did it were glad they chose that method.

They say to do it without removing the body from the frame and with mindset of saving original paint - is about a 100-150 hour job.
The entire headlamps assemblies must be removed and removing the radiator and radiator support allow a heck of a lot more room.
Doing it with the car inverted or at least rotated on it's side would surely cut off a significant number of hours.
