Default Sanding and Refinishing, the blood sweat and tears

This is the real grind of any restoriation. It doesnt help that I only get nights and weekends to do it. It can take me a half a day or more to fill, sand, and prime say this firewall section. Im about 2 weeks into my trunk at the moment and its almost done.

I think this is the dirty secret many dont know, this takes alot of time and effort depending on how perfect you want the car to look in the end.
