Sanding under hood on front fender

[rod7515]

I am finishing up my first fender and i need to sand where the fender goes down and bolts on just under the hood. Was wondering what is the easiest way to get at it. The palm sander or oscillating sander is to large and i really was hoping not to have to sand by hand.

Now im not meaning where i have the filler but the two step lip just above that. Its the only thing left on that fendr before i prime it.
Thanks Rod

Or make something out of a block of wood?

Thanks Rod

My fenders were not mint, but very decent. I took them to local do it yourself blaster, got the correct media, and pressure and my son and i blasted both fenders and the diffy housing. Took it home and saw what i had to work with. The undercoat below that lip is a bear to get off by hand. lol
