I don't know who the frame repair guys are in Chicago, but I'd guess that removing, repairing or replacing a kickstand plate would almost certainly be under $50. That's assuming the obvious that you are going to hand the frame builder person a bare frame. You will have taken everything off of it so he can do his work. Once the repair is done, the paint will definitely be cooked in the vicinity. Rattle-can it with primer before you rebuild it, and you'll be good to go. Or go get it powdercoated for about $150.
