YES it can...but it will be up to you if you want to put the TIME into getting it prepped and repaired...versus...buying new panels....and bonding them in place.
Without seeing the entire car...I can only comment on what you have shown.

How much work would it be to replace the whole front?

I assume by the photos that the car is a 1968-1972.
Getting a one-piece or the other option is quite a lot of work. So many small things that need to be done in both scenarios.
Getting a one-piece to fit correctly is a challenge due to the firewall/cowl plenum area.
Some go on with no problem and fit...while others may take a bit of re-working to get them to fit....because no two Corvettes are exactly the same.
You can EASILY have (without even batting an eye) a week+ in getting it off and on....count on more than that. Book time on the top hood surround ONLY is 30 hours.
Like I wrote before...I would have to see all what I had to fix and see if doing a repair would be cost and time effective.
Nothing is "plug in and play" when dealing with this. It is going to be time consuming either way you choose.
