Quick prep ?

So, I'm currently about 1/4 of the way through prepping my baby for paint. I've been sanding everything thus far even if I need to get down to bare metal for filler simply because I'm concerned about what affect the chemical stripper will have on rust resistance properties.

It looks like your front fender is sanded, not stripped, but it looks like it's just about perfectly prepped (through the clearcoat everywhere, some areas through the color (no biggie), and some small areas through the primer (no biggie)). How'd you go about sanding? It's taking me forever to get to that point using a 6" orbital sander w/600 grit paper. The hood took me a couple hours as did the roof.
