Getting ready to do some prep work on the body and panels. Anyone have pics or suggestions on rolling the tops of the doors? Any input is appreciated!!

Sand it with 40gr and use rage gold.

As Miller said start by knocking the ridges down with 40 then fair around the curves with 80 where you'll be feathering in the filler. It's not unusual to find voids along the line where the two shells are bonded. If you do open them up and use HSRF. Shape with Rage Gold and make your initial sanding passes with 40 to establish contour then change 80 to tune it up. Picture is worth a thousand words---this will give you an idea what it looks like after the first application of mud.

Like Kleiner has shown, don't go for full radius, just aim for roundness. Too much real estate on that edge to go full roll.
