What a great color combo on that Daytona!!!
Dave, the Challenger is looking great. Can you share any sanding tips for getting the main body line crisp? I know you're supposed to sand anyway from the body line and not over it, but what do you do for spots where you have to put filler on the line (for door dings, etc.)?
Thanks,

Here are some pictures of the blocking. I started on the door as it was the worst panel on the car left to do.
The door had several dents and a big crease. The ruff in body work was done a month ago.
The first picture is the tools I use to block with at this point. It is a nice kit for doing flats and rounded contoured panels.
On the flat portion I like to block in the direction that people will be looking at, this will help sew in the filler work and find any remaining low spots.
If I break thru the primer I will keep sanding until hit metal, if there is still a low spot after that it needs more filler.
Try to not to over sand after metal is showing as all that is being done from that point is creating a wave in the panel. It is very important to learn how to "read" a panel to save refilling and doing it over and over.
At the rear of the door I hit metal in several areas around a low spot so I refilled it with a lite coat of Rage Extream, it looks like a lot in the picture but is actually very thin.
In the last picture I am sanding in the roll with the flat hard block, after using it to see if the shape is right and the line is straight I went to a round tube block to sand it in.
I hope some of this helps.
Dave
