Looking For A Bodyshop

ok guys, heres the deal. my right rear quarterpanel got attacked by a guardrail or something a looong time ago. the car is now a NASA PT race car, and the rules state that that car has to look straight from 50 feet at 50mph.
theres a little paint thats been scraped off, but mostly the panel got pushed in and bent a bit, nothing serious.
im not looking for anything fancy or expensive, i just want the dent pushed out by someone competent, but i dont want to spend $$$ (cuz i already spent it on coilovers and a cage!! )
sooo...anyone know a reputable, afordable bodyshop?

Pound/tap it out the best you can. Maybe one of those mobile dent pullers. I think I know the dent your talking about, it should pop out pretty easy.
