Seek and Ye shall find !!! Have you had it checked out to see if it can be salvaged ??
 
Welcome,
Everybody busts their first car up.
I made the roof on my 65 coronet look like a tent, all bowed up in the middle.
You should have tried to put it back together.
Looks like all you needed was a fender, bumper and a lower strut rod.
You maybe could have beat the radaitor support out to make everything fit.
Welcome again, what mopar do you have now?
 
at the time i needed the money so i sold her. a mistake i will never forgive myself for. but cant change the past. but my loyalty to the duster will always be strong i cant wait to get another one and do it the way i want to.
 
Buy another one and start all over again.
 
Sorry man... that stinks. My first car was a 73 Gold Duster, back in 1987 when I was 17 yrs old... it had a 318 with 7.25" rear end and 904 trans. I blew up no less than 5 rear ends in that car, LOL... beat the snot out of it, jumped it, bent the frame, hit curbs, and got in an accident with another car.. .poor thing never stood a chance. :( Now, 25 years later, I'm building a 71 Dart... and I'll take much better care of it :) It may take a while for you to be able to do another Mopar.. it looks like the one you had was really clean, I'm sure it crushed you to get rid of it.. give it time :)
