Just remembered to update this thread...
I gave the bus back to the shop for a day for them to take care of a couple paint runs and to replace the door seal they ripped.
They replaced the door seal (at their cost) with a new German seal from Wolfsberg West; that sucker is nice! They also took care of the paint, and everything is kosher now.
I finally had time this weekend to straighten everything back up and put everything back in the bus.
So, in closing, we rolling along again.

I found some things I didn't like in the paint, so it's going back to the shop soon for some sanding/buffing.
Also noticed they ripped the door seal, so they have to replace that too.

The bus goes under the knife next Monday morning.
On the bright side, at least I'll have a car with air conditioning for a week.
