Default corvette bodywork

anyone have an opinion on bodyshops in dallas that do corvette work? I have a crack in a panel and it likeley will have to be replaced. I'd like it done right the first time, so if you've had good or bad experiences anywhere, please share them.

I'm looking for a referral for body work/paint on a C5 in DFW as well. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

okay, I'm not a patient person. I went to a corvette specialty company here in dallas and spoke with them. they don't do body work, but recommended someone to me. I visited their shop today which was full of exotics and a few run of the mill autos. we hammered out a deal with a discount for cash. I'll have my car back by next weekend, and I'll let everyone who's interested know how I liked or disliked their work. but guaging what I saw inside his shop, I have little doubt I'll be satisfied. later . <img border="0" alt="[Corvette]" title="" src="graemlins/corvette.gif" />

anyway, got my car back today. looks like new. I 'monsooned' my passenger side rocker panel on a pile of bricks. don't wanna go into too many details, but it was my fault.
the front and rear fenders, along with the door had to be removed to replace it.
when I picked the car up today, it had been cleaned thoroughly, no extra miles on the odometer, and they even detailed the wheels.
I'll go back again if the need arises.
the shop is called koko's collision. they are located 1932 valley view lane, about a half a mile west of 35E in farmers branch.
btw, he has a 99 black ragtop c5 for sale if anyone's interested. looking to get 33k or so, but I bet you could get it for less. <img border="0" alt="[Corvette]" title="" src="graemlins/corvette.gif" />
.....back on the road again
