Anyone know what's used for or have a photo of the nuts/fasteners for a '68 road runner trunk finish panel? It uses 13 of them and I have speed nuts that I thought were put away for the panel but there are only 10 in a bag that I forgot to or didn't label duh  so now I'm not sure they are the correct fasteners? Thanks, MikeR

speed nuts,
Not on my car and I'm sure I was the first to remove my panel as it was mostly org paint when I got it.
Here's a pic and note the cup style washer that holds the sealer.

I had those same style nuts and washers on my 68 GTX finish panel when I took it off for a quote to repair.

Washers yes, but the GTX should have speed nuts as the studs are cast.

Ran down to the local Ace Hardware just after I posted because I did a quick search of their Sunday hours and they closed at 4:00  so I didn't see the post until I got back....late. They didn't have those acorn type speed nuts but I took another old un-restored trunk finish panel with me into Ace and the threads are 10-24 so I got 15 nuts with a serrated washer attached and 15 cupped washers with a rubber washer attached to the metal (photos later) and they worked pretty good. I think what is supposed to happen is the holes in the trunk lid are 3/8" in diameter for alignment "slop"  and there are foam washers that fit over the 10-24 studs on the panel and the foam washers should fill the 3/8" trunk lid holes and moosh(is that a word  ) into the cupped washers to keep water and dirt out. I don't (think) I'm having a fitment problem with the slightly cupped washers that I'm using but I'll have to take another look tomorrow, seem to work. Did all of them with the 10-24 nuts and slightly cupped washers.....no way a speed nut would pull the finish panel against the trunk lid with speed nuts IMO.
Thanks for all of the replies
