I personally wouldn't give this job to anyone who is not familiar with this area. You want to make sure the geometry is true and straight at the end of it all. I've done this twice to both my cars. It certainly is possible to do if you have a little practical ability, can weld (not perfect) and believe it or not can be alot of fun and very rewarding. Buy the proper replacement panels and cut out what you need. The panels are cheap compared to what you are risking.
