Default Sanding boards

Tony,
Thanks. I hadn't been to O Reilleys yet, but I know where it is.
I have a go-cart that runs good. Got the wiring tidied up and drove it down the street. I still need to button up the driver's side footbox. Just a matter of aligning and drilling. I think I'm going to put the top two panels on with screws.
I'm started on the body. Ground down the seams, routed out the gelcoat. Put on the first coat of resin on the seams to seal the edges and am about ready to start filling. I have to go get a different filler than the one I have (I'm using West Marine) and don't want to apply any before I have the longboard and appropriate paper to sand it down.
Got to say, I knew from the start that the FFR body would be more work than some of the other kits, but I wasn't completely prepared for what I've seen. That being said, I'm not unhappy with the kit overall. I guess I'm a few months behind schedule.
Dave
