A typical hardware store doesn't carry the thread pitch necessary.  Don't 
remember the designation, but it's not the hardware fine/coarse.  I've had no 
problem buying boxes of the proper nuts and bolts from automotive parts stores. 
 They carry these little boxes of nuts bolts and washers.  My must commonly 
used fasteners are of the 1/4" size.  3/4" and 1" long.  Seems like most of the 
car was built using these.

If you're going for proper restoration, do be aware that the nuts and bolts you 
buy this way will not carry the oem correct markings on the heads, and will 
have an incorrect surface finish.
