Re: Lower door skin panel
Can't recommend one, but find someone very old to do it.
My reasoning is that the average bodyshop does not do this kind of work these days and modern apprenticeships do not cover the kind of skills you need to do this kind of work without making good with spades of filler!
Find the right guy, with some old school skills, there is no reason why it will not be a totally invisible repair.

Clean it, wax it, love it, ENJOY it... then fix it
