Oh it can be fixed.. I'm no bodyman but I have seen my friend do wonders with a hammer and dolly and like Tim and Todd said.. it takes time and patience.. you can't just whack away on it.. small little pecks and the right touch.. You will likely need just a bit of filler but most of that will be sanded back off and you will need to test fit the ornament as you go.. There aren't many true body men left at body shops anymore. It is a craft that takes a special touch.. Insurance work did away with most of the true craftsmen that could hammer anything straight! 
At one time Aaron over at Xtreeme Motorworks was making new repro hoods.. All of his stuff is top notch so you may want to check them out.
