The fenders are completely different. The body lines are completely different. The wheel opening is completely different. The back edge of the fender won't match the front end of the door.

Welcome to the '69. Front end sheet metal is hard to come by. You could try www.partsplaceinc.com. There's one guy I know who has them but he quoted me $2500 per fender and couldn't have been a bigger dick.
There are some on ebay now and then but they all need work.
Good luck.

WHOOOAAA!!!!
That's the WRONG parts place buddy! You're sending him to a Volkswagen site. What you want is this one:
http://www.thepartsplaceinc.com/cata...ideimages=true

Scroll through it and you'll find the fenders you are looking for too!! If you get lost in the catalogue, go to google and type in
"The Parts Place - Chicago". Then just follow the page instructions. The link I pasted into this thread is their catalogue (with pictures) for the 1969 Cutlass/442. Good luck with your project.
