Looks a lot like my Road King did almost a year ago when a cage ran me into a guardrail except the majority of the damage to mine was right side. That floorboard bracket, if bent can hopefully be straightened out. The rest looks like an easy fix so best of luck.
Looks fairly simple and straight forward. Very similar to the project I'm almost completely finished with - mine was a totaled '07 EGC that I've turned into a Street Glide/Ultra Classic clone.
If you know your way around a simple set of hand tools, star sockets and both SAE and metric allen wrenches you can have the entire bike apart in a matter of a few hours. Just take your time putting it all back together and if the item/part looks bent or out of place do yourself a favor and replace it. Ebay and/or your local Craigslist will be your best friend. You don't need to go brand new or show-quality unless that's what your're building.
I love the project and good luck in making it exactly what you want for 1/3 the price of a brand new one!!
Also, judging by your pics be sure to check out the engine guard upper mounting tab. My engine guard bar was pretty bent similar to yours and I ended up having to bend my upper engine guard mounting tab back with a couple good smacks from a heavy mallet. No sweat and the welds are still strong and intact.

Two things;
Pics of your projetc? (I love to steal!)
My engine guard is toast, found on on CL for $45.00, pick it tomorrow.
I don't have too many pics - only a few of the before without much detail and a couple of the almost-finished. I'll try and post them later.
I replaced all of the painted parts - sans the tank and front fairing and added lower fairings and a detachable lighted tour pack and some other small accessories.

I need to find a left side fork slider. mounting bolt for the fender, broke the emboss. That plus a heel shift lever (not sure why that pice was gone?), the crash bar and I will be in good shape.
The front light bar is toast, but I'm trying to find some other options for that. Never been a fan of that big fixture.
036turbo - PM me your address and I'll stick the heel shifter in the mail to you since I took it off from the beginning and never use it...pending I can find it in my mess of a shed!
