Default DFW Frame / Body Shops

Can anyone suggest a good quality frame shop in the DFW area? I want to get my car up on a rack to see if anything structural is tweaked beyond the obvious on the front end. I'm looking for a quality shop that will put this back together correctly because I plan on returning to road course driving. So far I have checked out:

Dallas Frame and Alignment
(http://www.dallasframealignment.com/)
2514 Fabens Rd

Dallas Suspension Alignment & Frame Co
(http://www.dallassuspensionalignmentframeco.com/)
2241 Crown Rd

I haven't had any frame work done before and would like to go to a place that someone has experienced first hand. I'd be willing to trailer the car to someone within 2 hrs of DFW if I knew they were going to do a correct job. Any recommendations on where to go or stay away from would be appreciated. Thanks.

Details and photos of the car can be found here:

Car needs two rails from what I can see... Any reputable body shop should be able to do this. Genesis is a popular laser line frame machine. Find a shop that has one (hangs targets at different rail points and shoots a laser from middle of car to the targets, this is for sure something only certain shops can do. A lot of larger shops wouldn't take the liability of it :/. Try looking up Rucker Performance. Chris runs it. Good dude, honest.

That needs two front rails, radiator support and I would bet strut tower/upper rail assembly. Basically everything from firewall forward. The back needs a quarter and rear body minimum. I would bet on some floor damage at least. Problem is no new parts available anymore, only salvage. I have been in the collision industry 27 years and would have let it go.
