When installing the chrome trim around the rear sail area for 68 Charger including out and around onto top of fender, what clips are used?
The “inside sail trim” has studs , the outside trim looks like needs “slide in” clips?

The inside pot metal trim with the studs use thread cutter nuts. The long outside stainless trim uses slide in clips. The clips that have the studs go towards the rear because they are accessable to get nuts on to. The three holes towards the quarter windows get the push in clips because you can't really get behind there to install nuts.

By push in clips, I assume you are referring to the ones that look like door panel clips?
Where do I get “thread cutter nuts”?
 
Yes, they are the springy push in style clips that resemble door panel clips. Thread cutting nuts are also called pal nuts and can be bought through several vendors. They are on eBay too. The nuts that cut the threads are sized by the stud that they go over. The nuts for the studded clips look just like the thread cutting nuts but are used for machine threads. Most of the time the machine threaded clips will come with the correct nuts for them though.

Thanks!
