Default Custom Heat Shielding: Who?

So with the advent of a supercharger en route and a desire for an aftermarket header (already here :p), I'm taking precautions due to problems associated with heat.

I've already lined up a shop that will do thermal coating on the header itself, but I'm looking to get a custom heat shield made to mount over it and under the shaft of the supercharger. I have no freakin idea on what kind of shop to be searching for. Just a machine shop that'll do sheet metal fabs or something else?

The OEM shield was actually mounted onto the oem header using screws. I'd like to duplicate that as well as possible since I don't believe I've seen any other areas to mount the shield too inside the bay there.

If anyone has done this or knows someone that has done this, any information would be greatly appreciated. Looking for someone that's prefrebly close to Everett since I don't have a lot of time to be driving any significant distance to get estimates and all of that due to work.

Before you get it coated, have some nuts welded it to to mount your existing heat sheild. That thing is just two ply tin or something like that, easily formed, I'm sure with some creative hammering, you could form it to fit easily around the new header.
