I’m replacing the lip molding on the wheel well of my 59 cdv. I am in need of u clips. Does anyone know where I can get the right size? Are they just standard? And help would be appreciatedâ€"- also what kind of screw is used and where could I get them. Thank you very much in advance!

The usual places clipsandfasteners.com, fastenal, parts stores, etc.   They'll have the bolts too.   They should have the closest to original.   Doubt they'll be exact.   
Probably need one to measure or check size in the parts list.  The bolt size and edge depth are important.   Dimensions have changed a bit since then but I changed a bunch without issues.   If you mean U-nuts or barrel nuts, etc.   And not speed "clips"?   Clips don't have screws or bolts.

Thanks. I guess I meant u-nuts because the screw goes thru it to secure the molding. Thank you!!

Paul,
Take a pic of one you have and want more and post and what it is you are trying to secure.
I'm confused.

Have fun,
