Re: 1957 Chevy truck re-rebuild

Looking good.
You may try a hobby shop for some small blocks. I have one from when I was messing with RC planes.

Small block, oh no we're using a Big block in this truck....... Ohhhhhhh, you mean a small sanding block. Usually in a small tight area such as the gills I will fold the paper over about 4 layers, this will usually keep the paper strong enough as to not drop into the low spots. Thanks Kim.

I've dealt with the long, enduring process of block sandig all the panels before. There are times when you need something to keep you motivated.

So far I've taken a couple hundred pictures of this project. It's good to sit down and go through them to remind myself how far I've gotten so far.

In my last set of pictures I lifted the sheet off the engine and took a picture to remind myself as to where I'm heading. Yup, ok, my mind is back on track again.
