Did some more work on the monster beetle.


got a radio shack buggy for $3 & used the rear bumper, it fit almost perfect. just had to add a nut to keep from crushing the plastic flanges where it mounts... Added some silver wheels. Added some better shocks.

better look at the rear bumper (if you look closly you can see the spacers I had to put in) forgot to mention I had to make a couple notches for the axles to clear.. but other than that it was a direct bolt on.

made a new front body mount since there wasnt one in the parts box.
