Looking for a body craftsman

I am new to the forum and am l have an 89 SC which has LT rear quarter panel damage. The quarter needs to be replaced and I am planning on purchasing a new quarter panel directly from Porsche (Germany). Aside from the damage, the car is in perfect condition with only 25K miles. Does anyone know of a good old school body man in the chicagoland area. I want the repair done right (no bondo). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The last year of the SC was 1983.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.

Bondo is not necessarily bad. In fact, anytime you do a patch like this, there will be some filler needed. No one but real hotrod shops are going to do lead (pre bondo) on a repair. The key is that a good body man will use very little filler, because they are so good at making the repair.
