I have three screw holes in various pieces of stainless trim (59 bedside trim and rear window surround) - can they be repaired, and if so, any recommendations of shops that can do this well? Also - several dents and bends in the trim - same question...

Probably go to someone capable of restoration work, not just a run-of-the-mill body shop. Not particularly difficult, just needs someone detail-oriented. They'll probably tig weld the holes shut, carefully tap out the dents, file, sand, polish.

Should give you some insight on what would be involved in welding your holes..
