Do they make a whole car "nut & bolt" Kit?

I know some of you are laughing at me but when I stripped down my 68 I put all the nuts & bolts in cans without lids.  Well when my shed colapsed ON the car ALL the cans filled with water and some tipped over and went under the shed.  So I have LOTS of missing bolts and the rest are rusted to hell.  So I HOPE I can get kits.  I would like to start putting the car back together.
Thanks again and progress pics will be posted when I start back up on it.

Id wire brush your old bolts, take pictures of what you have next to some rulers, and post those pictures. The members on here should be able to help identify them.

Personally, Ive taken the windows/grille/fenders/bumpers on and off enough times to know those bolts by feel in my sleep...

I bought a front end bolt kit somewhere.  Problem is they are never factory correct.  Just bolts that work and fit.  Go as original as you can.  That story sucks.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

Here's a book written by a couple of mopar-heads covering all of the nuts, bolts etc....    Don't know if you can still get it.

www.amkproducts.com  I'm not sure what all they have for Chrysler cars (I know they have some), but they have just about every bolt for a GM car and they do share some of the same.

That's what I did to most of my hardware, probably more expensive then buying new bolts but you at least retain the originals and they come up pretty good. Luckily I labeled everything and took photos so I was able to sort it all out once done. You can plan on losing a few along the way so take pics of everything in-case something goes missing you'll know what it is.

Agreed that story sucks, in more ways then one. Good luck and hope it all works out for you.

How much for a 5 gallon bucket? How much would it cost to ship?

Can you get under the shed ? if not, can you get some kind of big magnet on a string under there ? if you can, then maybe your magnet can save some of those.
