Car is looking great. This is a fun project to watch.
Thank you.

On the large flat areas I'm using 60 grit flap disk on a 4" air grinder to get it close as it takes off a lot of metal fast. The tight corners I'm using a carbide burr bit in a straight die grinder then a sandpaper roll on a angle die grinder. The straight inside angle parts I'm just using a 3" cut off wheel to rough grind everything. To smooth the rough grinds down I'm using 36 grit down to 60 grit 3" roloc disks on a 2" arbor to get the disk to flex enough to get the corners smooth. Once everything is good to go I finish it all off with 80 grit on a DA.
