A 62 is a very early type 3. There are likely to be many things 
different about it, both from beetles and later type 3s. You will 
want to take your time on this rebuild and study it carefully. One 
thing to avoid will be the cheapo "kits" as they oftten are built up 
from the cheapest possible parts and will certainly not have many of 
the correct parts for your 62.

This book details many of the early variations in parts, as well as 
having lots of good sound advice:

There are other books that have more type 3 specific stuff.
