For what it's worth, I sand blasted my Series III figuring the metal was so
thick would not warp. It doesn't appear to have caused any warping, but I
doing body work and have not painted it yet. The sand did a great job
removing all paint, rust and body filler. The down side was that it really
pitted the lead work to the point that I had to use body filler to smooth it
out. And, I am still getting sand from all the little crevices on the inside
of the car. So far, it has only been a minor nuisance. Hope this helps.

You can readily predict the effects of sand vs bead blasting by
examining the blast medium. Silica sand is composed of long pointy
pieces of hard rock (not like beach sand) while glass beads are much
like crushed sugar at the outset, and like icing sugar when exhausted.
Sand really tears into a surface, while beads (or plastic or walnut
shells) shock the surface. Yes, cleaning out the beads is a bit of work,
but you'll really get familiar with the frame of your car when you're
done clearing out all the crevices. :)
I've read that walnut shells can leave a somewhat oily residue.
