Default Body shop recommendation - VA/MD/DC

I am in the process of a restoration on a 67 Grand Prix and am ready to get the body work started. I'm doing all the mechanical work and assembly and am looking for recommendations on a body shop that does quality restoration work. The car has very minor rust, needs a couple quarter patches put in, and then straightened out. I'm not looking for concours quality but want a very nice driver. Any recommendations on a shop to look at or avoid in the Va/MD/DC area would be appreciated. I'm right outside DC in northern VA. Thanks.

Alan

I have an old friend and co-worker who restored my 72 Bird 15 years ago who owns his own shop. His name is Ted Beddow and he is in Mt. Airy, MD. Shop is called Precision Autobody. Not sure if he still does complete restos, but its worth a try. He does fantastic work. I will try and post a couple pics of what he did for me.

I'm also looking for auto body shop recommendations in the DC area, but for some minor panel adjustment/shimming help. I have a door that needs adjustment, as well as both fenders and the front core support. Prefer a shop in MD.
