Hey all. I ordered brake parts for my plymouth duster from autozone (shoes, springs, and wheel cylinders) and they weren’t right. Where do y’all buy brake parts?

I got a 73 duster recently that was going to be my project. I guess I fucked up and failed to see the cracks in the frame. Is this cheaply fixable, like within $1000 or should I start looking for ways to lose this car?
