Hello and welcome! Drats about the roads and ditches. Happens to all sorts, even Yankees
So, first things first, grab a good manual. If you don't have one, they can be downloaded from here. When replacing/rebuilding your front end, upgrade the steering head bearings to tapered bearings, company is All Ballz. It's a nice improvement over the stock ball bearings and race.
Do check the triple tree carefully for cracks. These are widely available and are easy to replace. Might want to replace the wheel bearings too while you have the front end off, and double-check the spokes for true.
Post up a pic of the tank, perhaps can help you get the straightened out without painting or Bondo. There's a For Sale section on hush ss forum and you can often find guys parting out bikes, extra stock parts from customs, etc. So parts galore for your rebuilding pleasure. If you need something, there's a section for that too where you can post up a "I need a.." Someone always has it.
This a build thread by a member here doing a nut and bolt, factory grade restoration. Better than a manual in some respects. Take a few and read it. It happens to be your model as well.
