Am posting to ask for tips on to make straight this Olds.



I tried already one time in hot water, but am wary of warping the narrow A and C pillars.



I've made straight two T Birds already, but this above just takes the biscuit.
When I twist it to line up the sills, the body shape is normal, thankfully.

Perhaps taping it down to a rigid plate and a soak in hot water?

For mine, I put some rubber bands on it to twist it back into the correct shape. I then put it into a dehydrator at 130F for at least an hour and then put it in the freezer for a bit. I had to do this a couple of times. I think all of these Oldsmobile are twisted like this.
