On my list

I've had this car for a few months now, snagged it at a swap meet. From what I can tell it's a CE and seems fairly complete and original. Is this correct? The tub is pretty nice except for an unfortunate notch in the right side. Straight as an arrow too for a change. The battery cups are cut but I can't find any other serious damage. The black thing hanging off the left side of the speed controller - a reverse gizmo I'm guessing? Anyway, this one will get restored as is, or as close to original as possible.

: This one is currently in progress. I have most the parts to make a decent runner out of it.

Still gathering parts for this one. I painted the tub and it looks like it. It was pretty badly warped too. It'll get stripped and I'll have another try at it or just get another tub. Also need to dye all the parts black.

This one will be a runner as well. I think this is mostly CE but I'm sure someone will tell me what's not correct.

Not too sure what this is. Mostly a conglomeration I think. All parts will get black dye and the tub will get straightened (of course!) I could use a pair of the rear hardened shocks to be consistent.

Yet another one that will need a complete refurb...and another that needs the tub straightened.

This one will be done to replicate the original car I had back in '87, or at least as well as my hazy memory will serve me. I bought the wheels off e-bay already dyed this color which is identical to what I did back then and inspired the project.
