Our worst nightmare came true!! Need Help!

Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting in such a long time. A lot of personall things arose that took the time for play away (school, work). Im glad to be back and i hope to be part of this group again.

To the point...

I dont know if yall remember, but i have a 1974 plymouth satellite. It took me two years to complete. Now, it needs to be restored again...

The worst thing could have ever happened to any of us happened to me, and i need help

Though it was NOT my fault, the car was involved in a wreck not too long ago

everyone is OK, just not my car. Luckily, there is absolutely no structural, drivetrain, or suspension damage, just sheetmetal. now is when i will greatly appreciate yalls help.

If any one of you guys has, know someone who has, or some place that has parts for this car, I would greatly appreciate any advice

The parts list includes:
-Hood (roadrunner bulge or satellite, doesent matter)
-Passenger side fender
-Passenger side headlight bezzel
-Front bumper
-Upper valance (goes before hood and above grille)
-Grill
-Hood latch support
-Lower valance

Salvage yards (stephens, texas acres) have and can get the parts, but i would rather give one of yall the money that i would be giving a junkyard/salvage yard

I would appreciate any advice, help, or feedback.

the car is roadworthy again, it just isnt pretty. I dont care the conditions of parts, its better than what i got, and my dad is a retired bodyman

God bless, glad to be back, and thanks for any input, Frank

A few pictures at the time of the wreck, after taking it apart, and what she looks like now. even though it looks like a rear end collision, it wasnt my fault.
Here is a testiment to the old mopars...i opened the door and got out without a scratch. Do that with a smartcar
If any of you know where i can get front end parts, please let me know. Any feedback appreciated
Thanks, Frank

Glad that everyone is OK and the car can be repaired. I've got to ask, just what is that object jammed in the front of your car?

Hey man I'm really sorry to hear about your car. But I think I maybe able to help you out! I was looking at buying a motor for my chally a while back and i stopped at this salvage yard. And he just happened to have a 73 or 74 sattelite sebring plus. If I remember right it was a complete car in pretty decent shape. And I believe he offered to sell me the car for like $600.00. I live in tulsa Oklahoma So if your anywhere near here or willing to come this far. I would be glad to go get his phone number for you, the salvage yard is just a few miles away from my house. Let me know what I can help you with. Also if it matters to you I believe this car was just about the same color as yours lol. Anyhow just shoot me a PM if your interested. I don't know if he has it anymore As it has been a long while. But he had it in a different location than his main salvage yard, and it was in a kind of a hard place to find. So there is a good chance it is still there, and he was not advertising the car, infact he had forgotten about it until I asked him if he had any old chrysler motors, I told him I was looking for something like a 360. He told me no he didn't have any old chrysler stuff. And I walked out and here he come chasing me out and said he had that satellite.
