Default Need Help with Front-end Work

I got this 96 Z-28 from my neighbor. The car is gorgoeous, except for the front end, which met up with a tree. I need new hood, bumper, bumper reinforcement, and more. I think a whole new front-end clip is in order. Can someone help me find one, or give me some advice? The motor is not damaged, but it does need new radiator.

Thanks
Bob

What do you need help with? It's hard to tell anything from one pic, but you need to do some cross measureing to determine if the frame is bent. If it is a collision shop can put it on a frame machine and get it straight. Is the title clear? If it has a salvage title getting a rebuilt title might be the hardest part depending the laws in your state.

Yes, the title is clear. Never claimed on insurance. I do believe the frame might be tweaked. The wheels don't align with each other, but I can't see any particular damage to the frame except for the front where the bumper reinforcement goes, that is bent and I think took a close direct hit. I plan on going to a body shop with the car to see about straightening the frame, but was looking to see how easy a front clip would be to find before going any further.
