Yup !!  That's just what you should do, particularly if it's a
highly-stressed area.  Body parts (let's leave out modern cars with
high-alloy, heat-treated panels) will probably warp if you overdo this
step - most people don't normalize bodywork at all.  My comments were mainly
aimed at critical, stressed stuff like frames, etc.
