Talking I have permission to build a race car

Not sure if the planets are alligned or what, but the wife gave approval for me to build a race car last night. (paying for it is another matter)

So the question is, what do I build? The plan would be for auto cross and posibly scca or vintage racing (depending on the car)

My options are:
1. formula vee open wheel
2. 69 bug road racer
3. 71-72 super road racer

I'm researching the formula vee right now, would need a chassis and body, can dig up the rest of the parts. I would build a chassis if I could find some drawings or plans to start with, or find a chassis cheap somewhere used.

The 69 bug I have, clean body (no structural rust), solid pan, no motor or tranny yet, ball joint front end.

The 71-72 super, I know where a few are, need to check the heater channels, strut front end.
