First of all; sorry that you were in a wreck. I know that sucks. Been there, done that. As far as getting the hood to come open; have you checked the hood latches that keep the hood nearly firmly in place? Sometimes loosening these latches can help get a hood to pop open. As far as the front bumper goes; there are also brackets that hold the bumpers to your vehicle. If you can find a way to locate and loosen these brackets; then it should come off. As far as the radiator replacement goes; that's another ball game and beyond my limited knowledge about vehicles. Hope this helps.

check the easy way first, get someone to help you, have him to pull the lever below the dash, and you pull the hood up, that should work. There is a small release latch under the hood that isn't getting teh bump to push up on the hood, however, that one is hard to fix. If that doen't work, check the cable running to the lever.
