Grant,
Just a shot in the dark:
The way I understand it is that sandblasting peens the surface and
subsequently deforms the sheet metal. I wouldn't recommend sandblasting at
all on sheet metal. Frames and castings - OK.

I would have to agree with Joe here. I also have warped doors sandblasting
and it
can happen fast. I now limit my blasting to curved and re-inforced areas.
I
would be afraid to let anyone blast a nice straight roof. Is it possible to
have
it bead blasted?
I try to paint anything the same day I strip it. I follow Bob ADler's
advice in
his This Old Truck Articles and etch prime followed by epoxy prime. I would
also
try to weld in patches and straighten dents before you start blasting
although
you will most likely find more work to be done as you go especially if it's
had a
repaint before.
My 2 cents, Grant 50 3100
