Riceburner if you go this route---very generous BenJJ BTW---make sure both the top and bottom sides of the welded patch are equally protected with a product like POR-15 in order to prevent rust from recurring.
There are many, many body shops one could consider as competent but as a former body shop owner very few potential customers are willing to pay the costs associated with proper repairs such as you're contemplating. (That's not bashing you, just sharing my experience.) The trick to locating a trustworthy body shop is visiting them for an in-depth conversation of their process and materials used.
Just as important perhaps would be their warranty offered. For the most part if they flatly refuse to offer anything that's a place best avoided--they don't trust their own skills and knowledge to stand by their work. Any offered warranty should be in writing and/or part of the final bill. Further a search of their reputation via the various anonymous or fully independent customer reviews would let you know how well such guarantees are honored.

Wimmen---go figure huh?
Ask about her shoe collection---how long you been looking at THAT?
(^^^ That's offered completely in jest and it would NOT create, foster or further domestic harmony!
