Are all these destined to be fully restored? They look good together... :)

Potentially yes but the likelihood of it is no

Seeing that Ultima there reminds me of mine. As I recall the front A-arms were a bit weak and I soon replaced them with some Andy's.

I try to keep things organized somewhat, but yes, I have a sizeable "junkyard."

My RC10 bin. I could build 3 rolling chassis out of there, with the addition of a couple shock towers and some Stealth internals.

One of 10 Rubbermaid stackable drawer thingies containing assorted projects or potential projects. This one will eventually be a Bolink Invader.

And I have several clear plastic bins full of hardware and small parts that I keep meaning to sort through.

I have three of those Rubbermaid bins that look exactly like that. Four drawers in each and great for putting a chassis and all the parts for a build into one drawer.

I also have a few two cubic foot or so tool boxes, small enough to haul around and full of parts, tools, oils etc.

Three of the inexpensive Ikea style wood shelves that hold runners, rollers, bodies, radios, batts and chargers. Relatively organized but bordering on the junkyard scene.

I decided to drill some holes in the wall and hang some of the other cars and trucks, U shaped hooks with two screws in each to hold them under the front arms.
