Quick release smooth bottom panel

In another thread I mentioned the desire for a quick release system for panels that give a smooth bottom to a car. Figured it deserved its own specific thread so other people could chime in. I think that if brackets were used under the vehicle and coroplast's flexibility were exploited, the only fastners to be removed could be at the edges. I'd want wing nuts so tools wouldn't be required and also something that wouldn't corrode. The obvious answer is weld nuts under the panel, with plastic wing bolts holding things on. Unfortunately, my industrial supply place, which usually has everything along these lines doesn't carry them, which is a bad sign. Maybe weld nuts with plastic threaded rod glue into them and then plastic wing nuts on that? I can get those parts, but it's more work. I know there are threaded rivets, but heard the installation tool is a bit pricey.Could also consider stainless steel. Any ideas?
