1970 Dart Accident and need fix up recommendations/ Advice!!
I'm an idiot... I Planted the passenger side of my 70 Dart into the back of a pickup... now I've gotta figure out all I need to do. Trying to find the right Bay Area (or not, but probably NorCal or Nearby) body shop to take on the project. She's not a 10, but she's mine and I love this car to pieces (Her name's Loretta), I've owned it for 12 years and dumped more money in than I'd like to admit... had all the electrical done, new disc brake conversion... the list goes on. I don't want to sell it, but I'm worried I can't afford the work that needs to be done or that I can't find anyone to work on it! Any recommendations welcome, like, for shops to work on it, or for available parts. or parts Im not thinking about that I'll need to source. the things i'm thinking about:
1) he hood... do you think it can be straightened? or will it need to be replaced? Tough to find any Metal hoods for this model online...
2) I'm thinking of ordering these fenders (they're fiberglass and mine are steel) do you think they're correct?

3) I Found the headlight bezel for the grill that matches
4) what other parts do I need? Where should I find them that I'm not looking?
How much should a job like this cost?
How long should it take?
Tell me everything!
