Giulietta Crash.... help?



After five years of trying to make the best 750 spider veloce (for me, 
everyone's best will be a little different), I thought I was pretty much 
there...  Ran in the California Mille last year, have done a LOT of great 
touring, and have just about gone through everything (checkbook style, not 
ashamed... the benefit being that I've been able to have people like Conrad 
Stevenson do the work, in a way that I never could).  Minor service and 
speedometer repair this week, then the Mille again week after next, the car's 
just about perfect... and the local mechanic takes a test drive and runs more 
or less head-on into a minivan.  No one's hurt except for me...(and I wasn't 
even there).  I've been so sick about it that I can't see straight for three 
days, and don't see any end in sight.  (The end must be just around that 
perfectly banked 7000 rpm second gear corner on Highway 36... maybe next 
year.)  
At any rate, it's fixable, and insured, and the engine and suspension don't 
seem to be hurt, but the right front corner is pretty well crushed. So I need 
to find front end sheetmetal, specifically right front, for a 750 Giulietta 
spider... I'd buy a corner, a front clip, or a whole shell if need be (Iknow 
someone who needs the back half).
Anyone have anything, or any good ideas beyond the usual suspects?  
Thanks in advance for anything... broken car, broken heart both in need of 
mending!
