I am putting a 56 body onto a 69 pan and the only significant problem I have to deal with is the rear mount on the body. Its a small bracket that bolts the body to the shock tower and need to be relocated by about 2 inches. The bracket is only spot welded to the body, so moving it should not be hard. I'm not sure what year VW changed the position of this, but you may not need to do this for your 63 body. Someone else may have the definitive answer and a way to tell before triall fitting. Hope this helps.
