Default Parts and Collision Advice

hello everyone,

new to this site and to the LS powered vehicles. I recently purchased a 99 camaro ss with a ls1 with a turbo 400 behind it. The car has a t76 turbo installed and needs a few tweaks but i will get there. My question is, the car was involved in some sort of accident and the front end is a little tweaked. The core support is bent and the framework that the fender bolts to is pretty mashed up on the drivers side. Does anyone know a place to locate replacement aftermarket parts for this? I have tried sherman and even general motors and it is discontinued. I have been able to locate a core support but nothing on the frame rails. If anyone has any information or links to help me out or is selling these parts let me know i have cash and want to buy.

Josh
