How do you go about picking cars for Boot Camp?

Ray there is a line around the corner to get their car in for this .Mike is specific to what he wants to teach his students, so not everyone gets in.Mike is a classic car guy so he probably has at least one.

I try to get a good mix because the most important thing to me is that the people attending this class get the best all around education possible and this means working on a variety of cars with different problems and thus using a variety of tool and products to solve the problems.
I normally choose LARGE vehicles so there's plenty of real estate for plenty of hand-son time for the class.
I always have a modern daily driver because that's what most people are going to work on. In this case I have a Dodge Ram Truck filled with holograms throughout the entire finish.
I try to have one or two convertibles or more specifically a car with a canvas top and a car with a vinyl top to teach both canvas and vinyl detailing.
I try to get a very neglected white car to show the purpose of Iron X for decontaminating paint. Any color car will work but the human eye can more easily see the Iron X at work on white paint.
Besides the above, I then try to choose what I would consider cool cars, cars that in most cases, most people would normally never have a chance to work on in the real world.
For example, at my last class I had an award winning, all original 1956 Chevy Nomad here that was completely swirled out and I used this car to teach people how to use the Porter Cable type of dual action polisher to remove swirls and create a show car finish. And this car also fits the criteria of both COOL and LARGE.
1956 Chevy Bel Air Nomad - January Detailing Boot Camp Class Car
As far as I know, the class I teach here is the ONLY place where people get to "touch" cars like you see above.
Wait till tomorrow, the first car arrives around 9:00am and it's a very rare opportunity plus a cool car and a large car.

I will be waiting for the results. That is one of my favorite cars.

I'm actually a fan of just about any 2-door Coupe from 1937 to 1942. I owned a 1948 Plymouth 2-door Coupe and really liked it but the pre-war body styles are just leaner and more of the "coupe" body style I like. Sad to say I don't have any really great pictures of my 1948 Plymouth Coupe as I had it back in High School and that was before digital cameras made it easy to take LOTS of pictures.
Here's a shot...
I was the only guy in my high school to have what you would call an old car or hotrod. This car is the root cause or reason as to why I have the job I have today.
I'll be posting pictures of the other cars that will be in this Detailing Boot Camp class and get ready to be blown away!
