Interior fasteners (double-check me)
After over 5yrs, I'm finally getting my interior back together. (Some parts have been removed for 10yrs! 
)
Because boxes/fasteners have gotten shuffled SO many times, I will be guessing at many parts.
For the most part, I'll assume the use of a hex-headed self-threading screw where recessed holes aren't present. Where recessed/countersunk, I'll assume I need a tapered head self-threading screw. I can't remember what kind of screws were used to hold the interior door panels to the door.
FWIW, I'm reinstalling dash bezels, halo panel, rear hatch trim, door trim, kick panels, and door panels. That's after redoing the carpet and seats.
I have a FSM.

There are many vendors that dismantle C4's on ebay & even sell complete original interior screw sets for a reasonable price $.
cutedogs(or cutedogzs) is one of my favorite to watch on ebay for small C4 items for sale in last 2 years.
He is in California.
Or get a hold of Jason at Vette2Vette in Streator, IL.
Either one will sell you 1 interior screw needed of an entire itemized set on your list.

I noticed in the Corvette Central catalog the other day they have complete interior screw sets. They apparently come fully labelled where each screw goes. They were around $25-30 I believe. I need to order one myself.
Also I concur that cutedogz on ebay is a reputable vendor. I've purchased a few parts from them myself and have been very happy with the quality and shipping time.
I also found this on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.ca/84-85-86-87-88-89...#ht_3184wt_905

Great news Brian! I have the same action going on with mine. Just solved the courtesy delay timer issue so I can put the bread box delete/fuse panel cover back on as well as the side window defrost grommet and A/C ducting. Need a "roundtuit" 
I dont know if you have any door window gasket leakage problems but I decided to go with stainless screws in my door panels. I had a heckuva time getting the old fasteners out they were rusted so badly. I took a red sharpie and colored the screw head to kinda blend it with the red carpet. Just an idea I figured to pass on.
Good luck with the rest of it.
