How do you temporarily hold pieces together for sanding?

Ive got two fenders for a Model-T that I need to hold together to sand them both so they are the same size and shape. I've cut them out of maple and I could use a clamp, but it would be pretty cumbersome as all I have are 12" irwin clamps and the pieces are 2" by 7" by 3/4" and its the 3/4" side that needs smoothing up. I was thinking of tacking them together with some tiny brad tacks but wanted to ask before I did to see if anyone had a better idea?

Mine as well..  In the future, you could build them out of one piece and then saw them apart.

 

Thanks guys! Double sided tape it is! 

 

TIODS, A good idea but the plans I'm working off of use 3/4" thick stock to cut the 3/4" thick fenders out of, so I would have to glue and clamp two blanks together and cut them out only to cut the blanks apart again when the pieces are done.
