Yes flat stock would work for the lip of the hood extension.
Now as far as your headlights go to me your drawing looks like a horizontal bar grill in front of the lights. Is that correct? If so that could be easily made out of round stock.
But since you are askng for ideas here goes.
To my eye the Desoto teeth just aren't making it. I know you have them and want to use them.......
I like the canted quads. i would come up with some way to move them forward and trim them out.
Then i would do on the hood and the bottom pan what you did to the fender so that you have a rectangular opening with a rolled edge all the way around it.
To hide the radiator use the stamped sheet metal that I refered to and in front of it I would use a 54 Chevy grill or a 54 Corvette grill if you want to spend the big bucks
That would give you a true floating bar grill.
Just my 2 cents as usual.
I'm sure that what ever you come up with it will be cool.
