Can hot dip galvanizing warp a car frame?

+++++

Stock C-3 (1972) Corvette frame. Material 11 gauge mild steel. Constructed of upper and lower formed halves welded together. This is a stock 1972 Vette frame, not a custom fabricated tubular frame. Can hot dip galvanizing cause this frame to warp?
If yes, are there other galvanizing processes that could be safely used. I want to coat the inside also, if at all possible.
Than you so much!
