Guys, I need some help. Gonna start bolting my 87 cutlass back together tomorrow to prep for paint. I have hunted through bags and bags of hardware to be ready, but I'm in search of the following:
-Screw size and style for decklid filler panel...i know they are sheet metal style but it's been several years since removed and can't find the hardware.
-if memory serves me right, the outer fender sits on top of the inner fender along the wheel arch correct??? The bolts go through the inner fender into the clips installed on the outer fender i believe.

I might have more questions after tomorrow, geesh this is when restoring a car gets sketchy after years of being apart!
Thanks in advance.

Putting it together, huh? Hell yeah man! Good luck. I hope you figure out the fastener problem. I can look at my car later for reference if you need me to. Sorry I can't help right now. I'm at work.

Alright guys, back at getting my noodle settled down here. Anybody have an idea of what screws were used for the drip rail trim, window channel moulding screws, and b pillar jamb trim. When bagging and tagging....my dumbass labeled bags "driver side interior screws, pass side interior screws". Dont have them with me right now but i wanna make sure i have all this hardware sitting and ready when its time for legit final assembly.
Thanks.

I found these on fleabay....can anyone tell me if these are correct for our cars. They are the roof rail weatherstrip channel screws. Comes in a set of 24. I don't recall what the oem ones look like.
Also, the door weatherstrip has a spot for 3 screws at the top front of door, and 3 at the rear top of door. Help is appreciated as i want to have this stuff ready to avoid delays. Thanks again.

Much appreciated man. I'm pretty sure I've acquired almost all the hardware i need, except forthe rear deck filler panel. My car was factory hardtop that had a dealer installed vinyl top....I've went back to the hardtop. I got the roof rail screws as in the pic above, as well as the drip rail trim screws.
