320 Grit is Almost Done

We spent most of the daylight hours this long weekend in the driveway sanding. The weather was beautiful, breezy and 75-80 degrees each day!

I ordered a set of Soft Sanders (that's a brand name) to help us with the various nooks and crannies that needed sanding. I wish I would have ordered them long ago. The Durablocks that we've been using (and that I pictured in my previous post) trap the sanding dust against the car and turn it into the finest talc.

With the Soft Sander, the dust can escape. It keeps the sandpaper from loading up, speeds sanding, reduces fatigue. They do start to deform after hours and hours of gripping them, but they were definitely worth the money!

These pictures were taken mid-day Sunday. Since then, we finished sanding the body, used Metal Glaze on a number of pinholes, and are doing final inspection and touch up on the hood and body. We still need to finish sanding the doors, but we're hoping to spray our first coat of sealer before the weekend.

Here are the pics:
