You should include the assembly plant and build date for this, and probably most questions.

With that info its very likely that the fender bolts used the solid washers with bolt heads with the  "" quote or tick marks.  On some examples a different bolt was installed in the rear most top hole with the toothed washer but you will likely be better off by using all the same flat with the tick mark bolts along that edge, in the door jamb and from below.

As mentioned the hardware spread sheets will give you length and size




Since your getting the car "ready for the paint shop" remember that none of the front sheet metal (plenty of prior threads discussing this) was installed when the car was painted.  ;)
