As I get ready to try and level the bed of my el Camino, I realized I needed a sanding block to get the ribs and valleys level.
This thing has 50 years of pitting and dents to deal with.
Trying to use a flat block and holding it at the correct angle for the sides of the ribs just didn't seem practical.
And I'm sure no one makes a block for this application, so I made my own.
Just got the angle and depth figured out then went to work with the saws and planer for the pieces, totally flat square and level, then screwed together.
Added 1 inch PVC as a handle.
This will fit standard 2 3/4 inch stick-on sandpaper. Do one rib then flip it around for the other.
I think it will work!
