I will be hunting recommendations shortly on body-shops/body guys.

My origional quote on the time and rate they would charge was incorrect. I asked my dad about it today while we were at work and he said they should only charge 4-5 hours at about $48/hour. Plus they charge for, what did he say, set-up and something else. i can't remember, i'm far too tired right now.
He also said that you should just take in the upper fender reinforcement, apron, and core support and have them do it. It should all be included in the 4-5 hours that they'll charge you to straiten it. He said that would be your best route, that way you can just take it back from there and throw on your sheet metal.
I watch this sh*t all day when I'm at work. It really is pretty cool to watch. Our manager is always bringing customers back to see the shop and show them the work.
As Jerryheads said, do not work with them if they won't show you around. Or if they are hesitant to do so. Check out there work. Look at a finished car, (they ALWAYS have cars that are done and ready to be "delivered") that way you know how good their work is.
