Just your first picture, of the two dune buggies. I'd take the one in front.

The Manx body on a full length, unshortened frame would lay out about like this (the ermini seiottosei). A front air dam, lengthened side sill and rear fenders and the Superbeetle windshield and you're about there.
Not at all what I'm thinking about. The goal of my project would be something that's good to drive on dirt roads (while of course being able to handle the pavement involved in getting to/from the dirt). So it should have decent ground clearance, while still being low-slung enough for good aero and comfortable seating, unlike the jacked-up Jeeps and SUVs. It's not for off-road driving, just off-pavement.
