I know I would have to use the grill/headlight and bumper assemblies from a 63-64, but will the rest of it bolt up and match the door lines and all that stuff? I have looked at all kinds of pictures for 62-64 models and the body lines on the doors/fenders look the same where they meet. I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Thanks

As far as I have found you can. May need inner fenders as well though. I personally am not a fan of taking more 62's off the road, so I would try to find some good sheet metal and have fiberglass duplicates made (just a skin for the hood and put your own factory frame in), and see if anyone would buy extras.. I am sure there are people out there (like me) who would buy fiberglass parts at a nice price for the 62.
