I officially hate bodywork! Wish I was rich, so I could just pay someone to sand and sand until this car was smooth as a baby's behind! Amazing when you start thinking about paint how all those little dings you didn't mind suddenly stand out like a sore thumb!
Got most of the dings ground and filled, now it's just tons of sanding, and probably more filler when I sand too far, then more sanding!

I think you already said you hate body work some pages back! You're doing it all by hand, no power sanders?
Oh I hate doing body work too, done way more than my fair share in my life, if there is such a thing as a fair share.

No, I've got air sanders, random orbitals, air board, etc. I still do a fair bit of it with my hand tools. Just get a better feel for some of it by hand, plus roughing it in seems to go better by hand.
And did I say I hate bodywork?
