What Should I Do With Them?

I am disassembling my 27 coupe. I plan to reuse the various bolts and other fasteners (I assume that is the way to go!) I will soak them in " Krud Kutter - Must for Rust". Any comments or suggestions?
I put them in plastic bags and mark what part they came from.

I zip tie index cards to bags with the parts in baggies or tie them to the parts them selves.

I would strip them and re Parkerize everything. It is easy to do yourself.

Yes, original hardware is best. A lot of modern stuff doesn't match.
When you bag up and label things, keep them all in the same place so you can find them later.
You can't take too many pictures of how things go together.
If I have to use any modern bolts I grind and buff off the markings, strip off the cad plating (paint won't stick to it) with muriatic acid, prep, and paint. I prefer satin black Rustoleum for chassis parts and hardware.

Parkerizing is a method of protecting a steel surface from corrosion and increasing its resistance to wear through the application of a chemical phosphate conversion coating.
Krud Kutter Must for Rust "Is a phosphoric acid based formulation that dissolves rust/oxidation through chemical action. Then tiny, rust-inhibiting crystals are formed and become integral with the surface molecules of the metal to resist future rusting. The corrosive agents attack these crystals instead of the metal. Once completely dry, the surface is ready for the next step, whether it be painting, welding, plating, lubricating, etc. Or simply leave the surface bare, and the crystals will inhibit future rust formation."
