Monster Beetle Aluminum Parts

Post by Basher67 »

Picked this up at my local racetrack last night. It has all sorts of aluminum goodies on it including the wheels. I'm trying to figure out which aluminum parts are "store bought" manufactured parts and which ones are homemade. Hoping some of you might recognize these parts. The rear shock mounts, and battery retainers look obviously homemade. The nerf bars are store bought pieces and I think the wheels might be See's. The front bumper and rear body mount are hard to tell. If they are homemade, they did a nice job. The rear bumper does not look homemade, but I've never seen anything like it. Notice the rear sway bar integrated into the rear bumper mount? Anyway, couldn't pass it up for $20. Anyone out there recognize these aluminum parts or do I have someones metal shop project here?

I've seen the gold anodized nerf bars on eBay, got a pair of plain aluminum myself. The other bits of aluminum I've never seen before in my Monster Beetle searches.
