All this bumper talk has got me wondering if anyone has a 'spare' Biflex bumper lying around? I like my car just fine without one, but am tinkering with the idea!
Also, can someone give me a primer on how to add pictures to your post?
Appreciated!
I found a decent picture on the internet. This is I think the bumper I am missing. If anyone reads this post and has a bumper like this please message me.
Thanks!

As we disassemble the car it's mysteries are grudgingly revealed.
Like that bent stub of threads on the right rear axle.
