Default Any shop that can do fender rolling in Indiana area?

Is there any body shop who can do the fender rolling job in Bloomington/Indianapolis area? I tried to find the bodyshop that can do this job. (Supposed to be quite simple with right tools) but all the bodyshops in my town are saying that the fender has to be taken off and needs to be hammered to be rolled in, and then repaint the whole rear quarter panel. Obviously they quoted me $850!! There is no way that I would pay that much $$.
I need drop my car desperately and I have 10.5J in the rear so I don't wanna drop it without rolling the fender.
My camber/traction rod from Kinetix are waiting to be installed but I just can't find a place who can do this job!

I was also told by the guy in the bodyshop that cutting the inner fenderwell (where you roll it) instead of rolling will seriously weaken the structural integrity of the rear panel and he strongly recommended against it. He's been working on countless of Porches and other high end cars, and all other shops in town say he's the best guy for custom work, so I think his point is legit.
What do you guys think?

Hey JimRHIT. I see that you moved to Socal? Damn.. I envy you.
I don't even know what kind of import shops are out there in Indy except IIP (Indy Import Performance, and I didn't hear very good thing about them). What other import shops are out there in Indy?

Yeah, I graduated from Rose-Hulman .. now I am working for Pioneer Electronics out in SD ... it is amazing So many hot cars here, and even hotter women.

I will ask some of my mustang buddies where in Indy you can get the fenders rolled. You know you don't have to go to an import shop. A lot of the mustang guys have to get their rolled or shaved in order to accomodate slicks and stuff ....

I will report back to ya when I get some info

And as you can see from the sig, my car didnt remain stock for very long after I got out here

Haha. No doubt. Afterall, it's Socal!
Thanx for the information in advance. I just have no clue where I should go and roll the fender.. Do you have any guestimate on how much it'll cost?

Also, if you can, please get their shop name and phone number too.
