Paul,
I can really empathise with you. I'm doing the body work on my Bricklin
right now. So far I'm at 250 hours of fixing cracks in the skin with
Dynaglass and bondo, sealing the acrylic skin with Evercoat's Feather Fill
Polyester primer, and sanding. So far I've sanded the entire car 3 times!
It's taking about 25ish hours to sand the car. I'm almost ready to start
priming it. Then I get to sand it 1 or 2 more times before I shoot color.
