body bolts..

I have an '85 z28 which i just bought that apparently needs quite a number of bolts... As i started to look things over, there is bolts missing, and I really want to get this bolted together again properly. The problem is that i live in Norway, and there isn't exacly a lot of dealers that have these pieces here. I can of course order them from the US, but i do not know what the correct bolts are called.
By some searching i found that thefastenerwarehouse.com sells some, but i am not sure that they are the correct items.. Can anyone confirm/deny that these are the correct ones, or if there are other suppliers that have the right ones?

Currently i am looking at these..
6mm bolts
8mm bolts

These look right, but is the thread correct? if so i may just as well go ahead and order a bunch, instead of finding some poor replacement.

i am missing half of the bolts that attach the front fenders inside the engine bay, some of the bolts that attach the front to the front fenders, the bolts that attach the supports for the front ground effects, both front and side.. i am also missing the supports themselves, but that's another matter...

generally, it looks like someone at one point changed most of the front, and didn't care to put it together properly. the best solution i think would be to order 50 of each of the standard bolts, with clips, and take it from there, because there's always some spots i'll miss at the first go.

If you can wait until tomorrow, I'll get you a scan of the relevent pages from the Parts & Illustration manual. It'll show you everything you need.

Thank you for the assistance, it would help me out a lot.

i'm not in a hurry. hurrying only makes things worse, in general.
