Default Body panel help

Hello, ive been lookin at buying a 63 swc, it is going to need a completle front clip (excluding hood) and a drivers side rear quarter and possibly some more rear parts. Can someone point me in the right direction.

I would love to be able to buy the stuff and have it redone and people feel around and not be able to tell there hasnt been extensive work done....mainly on the front clip. not as worried about the rear...but if inspected or judged id like for it to be as perfect as possible..id like for it to appear as original as possible...thanks

The direction is towards the money tree. There are competent shops around, just do your homework before commiting to a body shop/restorer specialist.
