Classic/Antique Car Repair: 62 Wagon Bolts/Hardware, knowledgeable enthusiasts, wheel wells

Question
Paul,

I recently bought a 62 Impala Wagon that was in mid-restoration state. Most of the parts aside from the drivetrain are in boxes and have no bolts or hardware. How would you suggest finding out bolt sizes for everything? For example, the wheel wells are out of it, blasted and ready for paint, but no clue what size bolts to use to reinstall. I haven't been able to find a parts manual for this car anywhere... I am new to this type of thing, and I could really use one if you know where to find it. Thanks! -Josh

Have a look around this web site. What you want is, not only a store to sell you what you need (ad you're going to need something), but also a group of knowledgeable enthusiasts who've cut their teeth on this sort of thing.

You can buy parts manuals and reprints of same from:

Good luck!
