IL Looking for a legit body shop in chicagoland area

I just picked up an '87 roller on Saturday. Rust free, but dents and dings all over. Having some experience in metal bodywork I'd usually take it on my self, but there are a few spots right on the shoulder of the front fenders and rear quarters totally ruining the body line I love so much and I think that's above my skill level. Some jack *** in this cars history also ripped the spoiler off, not nicely by the way. I'm talking deformed holes, dented, and pulled out. I'm planning on putting some over fenders and a new spoiler on, but I'm a bit **** and don't want to just cover **** up. My question is, anybody know of a shop that does good sheet metal repair and not just slap body filler on and call it a day? I know a couple but they are strictly classic cars and don't mess around with anything after the 60's.

Thanks

M&V auto in Schiller Park. Did mine after a wreck and it was beautiful. Don’t want to speak for him, but did Sean’s at a-spec years ago as well and it too was an incrediable job.
