Welcome to the site there is lots of information here and plenty of good people always willing to give advice.
Have a look around and have fun with your future vw. Just one question why a 73 model?

From what i have been told and i may be wrong but a 68-72 is better than the L bug 73 onwards especially if you want to lower the front end.
I am sure others here will correct me if i am wrong

yep - you are wrong 
L bugs are dead easy to lower ....................... but not slam like that vid
You will be better off with a standard (and they are 60's dubs) if you want to look like them
L bugs and Supers suit more the Euro style
