Wowzers! What an extraordinary opportunity!

I don't even think I have seen a 31 Auburn let alone be in a position to detail one. Whats the plan on this honey mate? How far are you alowed to go, time, budget etc?

Very cool car, please do share the progress on this with us all.

Wowser? You bet...! I'm freaked out to be honest but if I just break this down---shouldn't be a big deal.

I plan to involve forum members on this detail. I'm gonna need some hand holding etc...Grin

I will be pondering an approach and I will list how I will attack this and have all of you that are interested to jump in!

Should be interesting---this detail will not be just from me but from all of you.

Stand by while I put together an initial plan and I will post.

PM Sent. One thing, do not under quote. It's a bigger project than you think.

You should find out when the vehicle was restored and if there are any papers on how it was restored.

Is the owner preparing to sell or enter it, enter it into concourse events or both?

All of these will play a factor on what your plan will be. Be prepared to do a plan and discuss with the owner.

Make sure your detailing insurance policy is paid and up to date............ .........................

One suggestion,

Foam cannon via pressure washer!

Just kidding of course!

I'd stock up on lots of waterless wash. My only experience with cars of that vintage is watching episodes of Mike Phillips on Competition Ready

Find out as much information you can about the paint and restoration history as mentioned above. Looking forward to seeing the results.

You got this!

I doubt I'll be much help being that I'm likely to be asleep when any "hand holding" is needed being that I'm on the other side of the planet but heck I'll offer my opinion where I can. I'll start now aye? I know when working on classic vehicles we tend to avoid the normal "wet" wash routine but looking at the pictures I think a good agressive wash may save some heartache going forward. Especially scrubbing those tyres & that fabric hood.

I'm pretty excited for you getting such a vehicle to work on, & I (like many I'm sure) look forward to following along on this one.

I think you're going to be fine TMQ. That paint is already a disaster, there's nowhere to go but up. You'll be able to make a great improvement, but perhaps not perfection. Looks like there are some fairly deep pits or pinholes, manage the owner's expectations. Have fun with this.
