Good Fort Worth/NRH/Arlington/Surrounding area body shops?

I need to have my Iroc fixed and painted, with some custom work. I'm looking for a very good reputable shop to do the work including body work and custom paint. Anyone have a shop that they recommend?

SSHHHHHH!! I thought we were supposed to be a secret.heh...Yeah, we do excellent work, but we aren't cheap and it isn't done fast by any means. Since it is only me and Wade, we take our time and get the stuff done right. As of right now we are pretty well backed up.

Two questions:

1)How much is not cheap?

2)How long is not fast?

I know these are pretty broad, but I just want to get an idea. I'll have some new body panels on the car such as nose, ASCD SS hood, 91-92 GFX, and hopefully fenders. But there will still be some body work needed to be done (filling holes from removing the three piece spoiler and installing 91-92 wing, door dings, some minor hail dents). Email me the info if you want at belliott@thirdgen.org. Thanks

P.S. Nah, won't be making it to the gathering. I don't particularly care to let me car be seen in its current state
