I'm currently in the market for a project "hot rod" vehicle. I've seen some built bugs at the track and after digging around on another forum i was referred to this forum as you guys are into building high performance bugs.

First off, what style of bug should i start with. It seems like a superbeetle will be the cheapest, but is it the best starting point??

My goal for this vehicle is a weekend fun car. Something i can take out to the drag strip one weekend and autox the next.
