That's why you need an orbital sander

No good for stuff like hoodscoops, too many acute bends.

P.S. I love the smell of Bondo, brings back lots of good memories of late nights in the shop.
No matter how broke I am... I always seem to find two cents.

they make special steel files that cut down fiberglass/bondo to get the general shape, so that makes for less sanding.

Are you using sanding blocks? If not, you should, or your going to get a very uneven surface
