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.

Can't explain how inspiring this is. As a middle aged guy with 12 cars and three kids, I can't even imagine having the bandwidth to restore a car to such a high standard, but this is definitely my retirement goal.
