Thanks ddubbs, for a while here I'm just gonna run through the block sanding process. The pics could get boring, but not nearly as boring as the block sanding itself.

One place I can not block sand is where the gills are. Thinking back, I had to weld in a filler piece for where the old turn signals were. Now I not only have to smooth the weld of the turn signal fill but also the gill welds.

This is mainly done by feel since no block can fit into this area. A little extra time is involved, but they've blended in nicely.

Just joking, but, for some reason the first picture looks like a fish laying on it's side. lol
