Default Project dumb idea

So I am working on project dumb idea. As of now it is taking a 99 Tahoe 4wd chassis and mounting a 73 bug body on it. It is going to be fun to change it over to 2wd as well as lowering. I am going this route since i paid 800 for the tahoe. I have no idea how low i am going yet. The plan is to have a fast bug in the 1/4 mile. I may use drop control arms with coil overs. What makes this really bad is later on i will be pulling out the 350 and replacing it with a twin turbo 302. Why i am doing this is for fun and enjoyment, plus i get to learn a lot of cool things.

I would imagine a tahoe frame is much larger than a bug body.
