I made a small curbside find today, a 3" stack of sheet steel pieces
with a "FREE" sign taped to them. So into the truck they went. The
pieces are 6-10" wide by 30-36" long and range in thickness from 1/16"
to 1/4". Unfortunately, most of the thicker stuff is a bit curved,
bowed the long way anything from 1/2" to 1" at the center. I'd guess
from stress caused by shearing them to size.

Any suggestions how to flatten them out?

I agree with the advice to not bother with them 'till you use them. Nice
find though, can't beat the deal.

I built a 27' dump trailer box (with darn little help, as it turned out)
out of square tube and sheet from oil tanks, sides and bottom each one
piece. There was some serious pulling on that one to get the sheet dwawn
down..
