                        Just strip the paint off, fix the body and repaint it.
                        put it in a bag with EZoff oven cleaner to soften the paint and use an old tooth brush to get in the recessed areas....dont forget gloves and a resperatory mask.

                        The old standby is to soak the plastic in hot hot water, and then use something (rubber bands, clamps) to bend the plastic back into shape, Let it cool for a while before removing the clamps. May need to to a few times but may not work for severely warped pieces.

                        Hi everyone......I need some help!!! I am currently working on a 1959 Cadillac, which I picked up at a garage sale. The biggest problem I have right now is the body is warped. It doesn't sit square. Does anyone know how to fix this problem????
                        Thanks for the ideas which I am sure will appear....
