Default Replacement sheetmetal sources

Hey guys, I just learned the sum of my worst fears, I wrecked my 1986 Vanden Plas into a ditch nose first. I need to source the lower valance panel, lower grill, rocker panels, and lower wings that cover the gas tank. Any help would be much appreciated. For the sake of explaining what happened, I was coming down one of my favorite rural highways, when someone in a less than interesting car blew an intersection, in the process of getting away from him, I lost control of my car and ended up in an unrecoverable skid, which terminated in a drainage culvert deep enough that you couldn't see my car if you looked across it.

Hotrod:


Ouch, Did you get an ID on the PERP, to nail him????


Do you have uninsured motorists insurance cover? PD is covered there.


But, it just might cover "hit and run", although there was no hit, just maybe. A long shot, I fear.


But, if you have "Collision" cover, you are in business!!!
A deductible, of course, and the insurer likely to determine the car is a "total".


I no longer buy "collision". Old cars, low ACV, Not a bargain...


David's stuff is the easy answer. But, the rear "valences", just
behind the wheel wells are "easily" removed. Dolly them out,
prime ands paint, rehang, in business there.


Rockers, the greatest challenge....


Hang in there.....
Carl
