The air dry is the key to not warping things. We do thin gauge body
panels often this way with no problems. If they quenced them though
they would be wrecked.
When we have loads done they just charge us the min (as our stuff
never gets to the weight needed) but still that is only about 300. so
in the scope of a vehicle restoration 300. is no biggie.
Small price I'll pay for doors that will never rust out (in my
lifetime anyway).
The body... still deciding if it is worth the risk. I want to run in
salt water periodically (don't freak out folks) and I'm not going to
if it is painted, but if it is galvanized I'd have no issue with it.
Thanks,
