Mansfield Paint and Body on Debbie Ln just west of FM 157
Its a very successful mom and pop sort of shop, does custom work and restorations too.
They patched up my 03 Hyundai Tiburon. They quoted me $850 when collision king said $1300. In the end they only charged me $750 or so, a pleasant surprise.
I also have a friend with a classic car restoration shop in Bedford. He's pretty good, but busy. If he is working on big projects that he's not going to get paid, for a month or so, he normally will take little public jobs like yours in between to pay the bills.
Its call Charlie Cooper Restorations, and you take collins N of I-30 to the road the big auctions are on, and its down that way =)

It is not just the outer panels you see but probably some damage done to inner panels. Most likely the body shop would be cutting off the old exterior panels (quarter panel and door skin) and straighten out the remaining metal before the new ones are welded on. Then there are countless hours to smooth out where the new panels meet the old and painting.
