Trustworthy body shop in Chicagoland area?

[Alex Kowalski (audial@aol.com) (Tonya Jones) <tjones@wppost.depaul.edu>]

Hi,

I'm going to be at the point where I can get estimates on the repair of the
'86 5KCSTQ soon.  Anyone on the List have any pointers about good
body-repair shops (with frame-straightening expertise - slight door gap
closure at the rear) in the Chicagoland area?

The car is going to need a new RR quarterpanel. The force of the
accident was enough to flex the current one enough that a pre-existing
body-filler repair job (which had been very well done - I had no idea it
was there) popped loose.  I'd like to put a real steel quarterpanel on to
replace that.   Any BTDT's or advice on a source, pricing, or things to
watch out for?  I assume that the old one has to be cut off the car and a
new on welded on?

Sincere thanks in advance,


Alex
