not really .. I use all kinds of sub straights .. wood blocks , wood strips , fingers plastic pieces ... what ever you think will sand it . just wrap a piece of sand paper around what ever fits the contour

I would do this to ALL of them , then when your done , flip it over and do 1 layer of 1.5oz mat on the whole inside of the roof . that will secure everything .

My real main problem is trying to sand in tight areas and edges, that stuff is really hard, for flat places I have a sander.

Well thought I would add some progress pics, going very slow at it because I hate body so much and Im not that good at it, I kind of keep putting it off, but getting thee very slowly..
also added the shiny chrome flexible tranny dip stick on the back fire wall for the turbo 400 since its a tight fit,and I couldn't get the other one to fit properly.
