I finally got my car into the garage, and I can start working on it.
Turns out it's a '67 144S with a '69 B20 and '69 rear end.

Anyway, when I got the car, things like the fenders and hood were just stuck on, without any bolts.

Does anyone have any bolt specs for the car so I know which to order?
 
You'll need to be a bit more specific. There are a lot of different bolts that hold the front sheet metal to the car.

For instance, the 4 bolts that hold the hood to the hinges are 3/8"-16 x 3/4". They also use a flat and split lock washer.

The bolts that hold the fenders along the top are a special thread for the spring clips that are in the top rail. They are NLA so you'll have to dig up used ones. It's also common for the spring clips to rust or break from over tightening so you may need some of those as well.

The bolts between the fenders and front panel are 5/16"-18 x 5/8".

There are also 2 brackets at the rear of the fender. 2 screws hold each bracket to the fender and one screw goes from inside the car into each bracket. I'm not sure what hardware is required for those.
