Most high schools and local colleges have body shops where they teach students how to repair cars. They usually charge little more than the cost of any parts needed, and the job is usually far superior to any regular shop. The reason for this is not only do you have the instructor watching, you have all the students watching as well. Take it to a 'learning' shop.

Not frame rails, but rockers are OK. Cars are made with whats called impact zones, but the passenger compartment is not made to absorb energy. Well kind of it is, like windshield posts from a front end wreck, but all in all, that part of the car, the passenger compartment is not made to give way. Its a gray area. If a B pillar is right next to a persons shoulder, is it better to have it give so less energy is passed into the compartment, or better ridged. Its ok to make rockers stronger.
