After many, many days I finally finished block sanding all the removed body parts. I do still have the small pieces that mount to each of the four corners, but those are very small. The header panel, which houses the headlight buckets, actually took a lot longer than I anticipated. With all the curves and small lips it was very difficult to get all the sanding lines out without sanding through the primer.
It took quite a few attempts to get the trailer backed in because I didn't have the extended mirrors on the truck and it was impossible to see exactly where I was going. First I had to move all the parts outside, pull the car in the barn and then put the parts in the trailer.
It was a close fit. The car was in the trailer at an angle and was only about an inch or two from the support cable from the door on the trailer.
I had to cut a couple holes in the paper so I could see. I definitely didn't want to run over the hood.
I know these doors don't look that big, but they are extremely difficult to move. I had to pick them up from the door panel side to make sure I didn't scratch the primer and this made it impossible to lift with anything but the back. After moving all of them I felt like I had been hit with a truck.
I recovered the holes I cut and now I just need to finish blocking the roof and quarters on the body and it will be ready to take to the paint shop.
