    Sorry to hear about your misfortune :( Anything is repairable its just how deep are your pockets and how much value you have in the car. Cant tell a lot from pictures but looks like you will be cutting cowl area to repair and frame may be tweaked :hmmm:

    My thought was maybe a shop could pull it out somehow.

    More pic's would be helpful, but from what I can see the door post up into the a pillar is tweaked..... It doesn't look to bad, I don't see why it couldn't be pulled.....

    This is Maverick number 4, 1973 LDO coupe with 302 and C4, factory A/C.
    You need two big old oak trees to park the car between. Remove windshield, strap car to tree on driver side. Strap lever type chain hoist to tree on passenger side, and use strap or braded cable choker to attach chain to car so you can pull that inner fender well out, forward, and maybe a bit down. We really need some not-so-close pictures. How rusty is the cowl?
