Why things take longer

The plan was to have things in final paint this year but feel like the sand is running out of the hour glass. I've had the panel in high build primer for some time figuring all it needed was a guide coat and block sanding. The plan was to paint the inside myself and have a body shop paint the outside. A few weeks ago I went and purchased my paint to start the inside but thought I should block sand the outside in case I needed to spray any more primer. Glad I did because prime again it is. I was however pleased to see that the body is fairly straight and a couple more coats and another blocking should do it but the cooler temperatures are just around the corner so I'm left hoping

That is likely the biggest problem, my back and hands are killing me. When I was about 35 years younger I worked with a fellow the age I am now and he cursed the golden years,lol

I've just had to lower my expectations,so to speak.I've come to grips with the fact that I can't get done all that I could in my 20's or 30's.That works out good,since I'm lazy,or should I say,laid-back.
