Auto Restoration 101

This was about 2 years ago……A friend handed me this pack of sanding blocks that he had just got at the SEMA show. I looked at them and thought “yeah, right…. like I would use these funny looking things on anything” and said “thanks” and then we went on about some car repairs. So I have had these things lying around in the shop for a while and never used them. Mostly because I really hadn’t found a need for them until a few days ago. I was sanding primer on the underside of some 1929 Rolls Royce fenders. Why would I sand the underside? Well, it’s a special car and they have to be really, really nice. While I was sanding I kept thinking to myself “I wish I had some sort of soft sander that would conform to the shape I needed”. You know how it is, a light went off in my head and I grabbed a Soft Sander and they sure made it a lot easier. Would I use them to block sand the outside of the car straight? Probably not, but I do know that I wll use them for concave parts that are hard to sand and also tight areas that are hard to use a regular sanding block on. They will also work great for sanding inner fender panels, door jambs, and the undersides of hoods and trunk lids.
