re: the body panel dies, (pulled from the faq and also other postings 
on the list and the http://www.dmcnews.com site) there has never 
actually been any reasons given for the reasons they were thrown into 
the ocean. Apparently they are being used as underwater weights for 
somthing (I've never found any reference to what they're holding down 
...), the problem is that, according to a friend of mine on the 
manufacturing business, the dies are basically useless after about 15-
20 minutes of contact with salt water, and the body dies have been 
underwater for oh ... quite a few years now.

As for the fiberglass floorpan dies, see the other extremely recient 
replies on the subject :-)
