After working on the Holy Sprite at Frank's place I became a devotee of a
random orbital sander (I bought an electric DeWalt because I don't have a
big compressor) and a box each of 60 grit and 120 grit. When I finally get
to that part of the process I'll finish off with 200 grit. The DeWalt is a
great tool and takes the hook disks which stay in place and last a decent
amount of time.

Sooooo..... What Frank said.  Afterall, he's got a whole damned fleet of
cars......   ;-)

Cheers!!
