Has anyone used just plain bolts from like homedepot to replace all the stock bolts in the bay like the fenders,hood latch etc...

I sat outside of work the other day (advance auto) and just unbolted, purchased, and rebolted most of them. I couldn't get all of them in stainless, so I'll probably go to Home depot and replace them sooner or later... All of the bolt kits seemed to be like >$200, and I figure I can do all the ones that bug me for about $20 so.....

thanks i saw that post before. where did he collect the bolts at? i have a LT1 and don't need as many as you guys used. just hood,hood hardware/supports,fenders,front plastic fender,computer,strut tower nuts,fuel rail bolts. thats all i want. a store called handyman has tons of SS allen head bolts and i will check homedepot also.
