Grin, yes, blocking out a car will give you shoulders and arms to match an NFL linebacker. Patience is the key, when you get tired stop, and wait until you are rested to continue. If you rush things it just means do-over time.
If you all would like, I can try and make some videos of how t do some of this process, (and maybe YouTube them if I can figure that out), or some other way to show how to strip carefully and how to prime and block sand. I am not really to the point of doing the bodywork and paint prep on my 72, (I'm still restoring the frame and suspension and getting the engine built), but I can step out and do a little of this kind of work to demonstrate the process, if that would help?
Just to qualify myself, I did body and paint, specializing in Corvettes for many years in the 70's and 80's. I have stripped probably 40-50 Corvettes and painted well over 300. I stopped doing body and paint in the 80's because I wanted to keep breathing and one did not see many old car painters in those days before we knew toxicity of the industry. Now I do restorations or customization's as a part time hobby. This is why I am not up to snuff on some of the latest techniques as I simply have not worked with some of them.
