I used this method using different pipe diameters to round the fender lips, front grill opening, dashboard edge, and rear cowl edge. Worked great using the sticky back sand paper. Buy it by the 3" wide roll and save money. Hope this helps.

Thanks Snakebit and CobraJeff for the tips. I lucked out and made a visit to Keith Crafts shop yesterday and he had a nearly finished Super Performance in the garage that I got to closely look at and lay my hands on the fender lip. A close look is worth many pictures. That helped a lot and I will probably try your wood block tool. Boy, there is a lot of fiberglass left on these ERA fender openings to remove. But I understand why they do that. I think I'm going to have to go to something more aggressive to do the bulk work and save the sanding drums for the close in work before going to the sanding block.
Thanks again.
