This was toward the end of July.. I was heading to see the wife for lunch and this lady in a Camaro comes barreling into my lane from the left. I was already near the curb/sidewalk and an SUV not too far behind me. Nowhere for me to go so I gave it what brakes I could to avoid a total sideswipe. Wasn't enough time to completely avoid collision and the SUV barely missed my rear end. Her insurance company finally settled with me and I am happy with the amount. Nobody was hurt, thank Heaven, and the fella in the SUV behind me provided his contact info as witness. Insurance settled "quickly"; about 2 weeks and a day.. I've never said this before, but I actually got tired of ordering parts. Lol! Have enough to fix this black eye, get every other maintenance item I've been slowly knocking out, a few upgrades, round 2 school clothes shopping for the kiddos, and a few date nights with the wife. Lol!
And then, IT happened...

My Jeep is smashed in on the same side. I've got the parts but have not put them on yet.

I'm glad they were ok. She had her daughter with her and she was freaking out tremendously. I got her calmed down with my daughter's little lion stuffed animal I had in the back seat.
All parts are due here within 3 days of each other this coming week. It will take about a day to get it all on. I'll paint all the body pieces the evening I get them and install the next day. Challenge accepted. Lol!

Good deal TX. Sounds like your up for the challenge.
If the parts are After market parts I'd suggest you pre fit them before paint. It may save you from having to repaint after install.
Standard tools for fitting most Aftermarket body parts are a big hammer, cutting torch and a chain saw file.
