Easy rebuild?

I found this wrecked 2002 F550:

Looks pretty bad

Another photo
How it looks its just body panels, healights, header panel and grille
It looks thet rad support, aprons and frame rail are slightly damaged aor intact (obviously i will order the bracket that is welded to the frame rail where tow hooks are)
For me, frame damage is a pain
It looks like its totalled becase fender is ripped ad its crunched
parts list is:

Please add your thougts or experience if you done this
AND ITS NICE BECAUSE NO BLOOMED AIRBAGS

I found a pretty cheap emblem, there are a lot options, used, people don't know how to remove them and break them, the one that I found is cheaper and its nice, new is "24K GOLD PLATED", but I want OEM look

There are some good deals out there to be had. The projected cost to fix and unexpected cost have to be considered as well and in the end it will have a R title haunting it's value. There is always a good reason an insurance company totals a vehicle, you just have to find it before laying your money down.

My guess on the Harley, I would look that cab over real close. If it's damaged that was probably the final nail in it's coffin. Not sayn it ain't fixable though.

Thats real but how it looks I think that in worst case scenario, aprons mount to firewall and hinge pillar is a bit bad, but its is practically imposible
check ount goonzquads 2019 f450 platinum, they replaced aprons and its rad support, on newer trucks, design is not the same but gives you an idea of repair possiblilities af an front ended vehicle and how far you can buy from dealer
harley has no bloomed airbags, nice, no money spend on airbags, no dash removal and no waitig on SRS module reset and seatbelts unlocked
