Make sure who ever does it knows what they are doing.  You can warp a body
panel so fast it will make your head spin if it is done wrong.  I am not
sure how it does it (heat maybe?), but it definitely does it.  I think a
lot of places are now using some of the fancy media (plastic beads, soda,
etc.) to do it.  I warped the door skin on a 65 F$%d pickup when I was a
teenager (Dad was not happy!), luckily for me it was just a "shop truck"
and not his GMC.
