will 69bug fenders fit on a 62

Yes... They will bolt on... If you are talking fronts, however, they do not have the horn grills, and they do have bumper bracket holes... You will probably need to fill the bracket holes... If you are talking rears.... again, they bolt right up, however, the bumper bracket holes are larger, and they do not have overrider tube holes. Also, rear light holes will have to be repositioned for smaller lights. Now my question: WHY? Early fenders are not that difficult to find.

I've been looking for a while for some for my 62 and cant find them for any less than 200.00, not bad but I found all four from a 69 for 60.00 total

Well.. Like I said, they will bolt right on, but in my opinion, they are not going to look very good... Also, the work involved in welding up the front bumper holes, and modifying the rears might end up driving the cost up. Have you tried visiting any local shows/swaps? You might be able to get a good set for a good price there.

Where did you find the 4 fenders for $60? If you don't buy them, let me know, I may be interested.
