Couple quick questions.
What bolts where used. 
Where the 2 bolts at the bottom the same as top
Where they painted body colour

I need to look through the bolt box that came with my car. Not sure what I'm looking for.

5/ 16 " x 1" often with Anchor heads painted body color
the ones at the bottom fender were usually studs

I think these are the ones you are looking for. I didn't have a stud to photo. They always seem rusted and break off by the time I get the cars.

Perfect  :bradsthumb: thanks everybody.  Now to find them in the mess I got with the car

you should find some U shaped shims for the lower fender studs to line up the fender with the door also .

You shouldn't find any U shaped shims on a factory built car. E Bodies used thick washers at the bottom of the fenders. :alan2cents:

Yep, but don't be surprised to find those mentioned shims as well. They were commonly used even in the dealership body shops in the day.  :cheers:

Body shops yes, assembly line no.
