Body Problem

OK folks, can some one give me the benefit of their knowledge.  The
Problem:  '59 Bugeye with bad frame in front / '73 Mk III with good frame
but bad sheetmetal.  Is it easier to cut the front frame from the Mk III
and scab it to the '59, orrrrrr cut tbe bugeye body from the '59 and
attach it to the '73?  
Any help will be appreciated.   :o)
Bill
