Default Advice needed

Hi all,
I need some advice to move forward. I recently got my car back from media blasting, and while I am not overly surprised, it's worse than I thought.

From what I can tell, it needs
the full passenger quarter, and maybe the drivers.
roof skin with drip rails
rear trunk filler panel
deck lid
passenger door skin
tail panel
upper dash
both tulip panels
full floor?




I need some input from people that know more than me on how best to proceed. I am no body man by any means and the idea of tacking this level of repair is pretty daunting to me. I see that the Dynacorn are $13.5K and come with doors and truck lid, this seems like it would be a cheaper/faster route than sentencing the car to either body shop jail for years, or having me hack at it until it is minimally acceptable. What level of quality are these bodies? Can I just swap my VIN/body tags over?

I am also a little afraid of the squareness of the whole body after seeing the floor pan around the transmission tunnel. Are there any known points that can be measured to confirm square, or should I just pick some repeatable locations?

Thank you all in advance for your help.
