American Resto Mods in Buford does great work but they're a super high end shop so they're gonna be expensive. Rusty's Rod Shop in Cleveland is another good one.

Remove the bumpers, grill, door handles and all the trim to save money. If you know a good glass person have the front and rear windows removed. The only thing I left were the wind wings to be painted around, too difficult for my skill level. Oh, and the bed, the body shop removed the bed.

^Fwiw, removing the front and back windows and wing windows and basically everything needed to not “paint around it” is not difficult from a technical standpoint at all. Door handles are a little tricky.
But you’re not saving much money by leaving easy to remove parts on. You’re saving money if you remove them and do the tedious prep work.

Yes, I'm planning on removing all that and the wing windows too.

Fwiw you can remove the door handles and that clip from the outside. But I could not reinstall it that way and had to fish it in the hard way when reassembling.
