Garage collapse
 
well the damage to the 65 Bonneville convert wasn't as bad as first thought,came out of the garage under it's own power,with some minor scrapes and dents,but it's most significant damage was to the windshield and windshield frame.The windshield frame is bent down about 2-3inches on the upper left..if it can't be straightened can it be replaced? If so where would be the best place to find one...I know there is a big Pontiac yard in Indiana but I can't remember the name...

But you now have to go there. No longer shipping parts AFAIK

If 66 is the same I know where a parts car is located that would ship (or bring to Norwalk). I have not checked condition of the metal in that area, so would not know the quality.

This.

Any experienced body guy worth his salt should be able to push it back into shape.

At the most you'll need a new windshield and some trim pieces.
