The Ford Barn

I have a 30 Fordor that has an issue with the hood. On the front end of the center hinge, there was a riveted piece of metal. It was mostly a folded/rolled piece of metal that was placed on the end of the hood and then riveted to itself. I do not think it was riveted through the hood but it might have. Through the course of opening the hood, it has ripped the rivet out of the piece of metal and now sticks up and does not move when the hood is closed. I can't seem to find out exactly what this is in any of the forums or parts catalogs. Is it riveted to itself, was it supposed to be there in the first place???? Any help in how I can replace/repair it would be greatly appreciated. I found this on how to make a hinge for a model but it shows the part I am trying to identify. I'm sure it is something simple and I just don't know what I am doing.
