Default 1978 trans am body work repair

I'm sure this is a common question, but anyone now of a descent body shop in the Baytown / Houston area. I have a 1978 black on black trans am. This was my car in high school back in the day. My dad bought it new in 78. It is not a SE but did have the black and gold package other than the gold pin strips. It does have quite a bit of body repair needed (some panel replacement). The car is sentimental and I would like to get it fixed. I just don't want to get in over my head.

I can come look at it if you would like.

There are some decent shops in Baytown, but better out west.

I, too, am looking for a good shop to repaint my 1980 SE Trans Am. Please provide the names of some reputable shops. Thanks!

Anybody? I checked out Main Street Paint and Body in Pearland. They are affordable, but the quality of work may not be what I'm looking for. I just can't stand orange peel and they couldn't guarantee they would get it all out.

So, I'm still shopping arounf for some other shops. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.
