Yeah, lots of work and then I always have to ask "why?"
Apparently you've heard of this being done. I'm not visualizing how "front to
back" is going to result in anything but narrower and then you'll need to move
the fenders.
To achieve a "downward" look I'm assuming you're dropping the nose with all the
hood latch mechanism. For the curve to work this needs to be done in the curve
itself and sheet metal needs to be added, not cut out.
Got a link to a picture?

A "pie cut" is when you take a section out of the hood. Front to back, that
appears to be a thin slice of pie. This gives the hood a downward
appearance.
LOTS of work...
