From this state, they in Provo, file down the welds and pick and mold the entire body with special metal working tools until it is the exact shape it needs to be. They call this the "filed" state and it is what they sell as the standard finish. According to many posts by them this is the best state to apply paint.
They are wonderful to deal with. If you are truly serious, give them a call, or email them. They will tell you all the plusses and minuses of doing the work yourself.

That's interesting. When I spoke to the kirkhams recently, they said I could pick up the body directly from Poland for 25k, but I didn't realise that the weld finishing was done in Provo. Not sure if I fancy rectifying the body!
