I have experienced frame problems myself. Just got my frame powdercoated last week. Temperature during process is 400 deg. max. Don't think that is enough to cause significant movement, but the frame IS 43 years old. (mine is '67). Don't think mine had any prior damage but it was under 6ft. of water during Katrina. I have a hardtop and only the convertible frames were boxed, so the siderails are only channeled. I am boxing mine. Perimeter frames are strengthened when joined to the body so the frame by itself will move somewhat. I found all of my fenders and doors were shimmed when I took them apart, so I expect to have to do the same when I get to that, but am taking great care to measure and level the frame as I re-assemble.
