Default Front Replacement

I just recieved a 1972 and it needs to have the nose replaced. It was wrecked. Which way is the best (cheapest) way to replace the front? It appears at this stage that maybe it could be from the front tires only.

If you can post a few pictures, it would help. I have seen
various repair sections at vanacor's. To use the sections, you'll
need to be good with the 'glass. A whole front end might come out
nicer, but it is still lots of work.
