This is a tough call on you part. I have a friend who has a 1977 Bugeye.
He put the back and front of a bugeye on a 77 rubber bumper midget. He
still has a fold down top and roll up windows.
When you say bad frame, is it rusted out? I think it would be much
easier to cut the frame off the 73 and have it professionally welded to
the Bugeye.
If it is bent upwards, don't worry, it is supposed to look like that.
