Default least amount of tools to dismantle your car setups

I'm looking to make my car easily dismantle able for quick repairs either at home or the track.. I've got a few ideas but was wondering what kind of "quick disconnect" pieces you may have or know about. I'm looking at either dzus fasteners or SRR latches for the front bumper and dzus fasteners for the fenders, quick disconnect fuel lines, QDC IC couplers and i'm not sure what else is out there. any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA

fenders are only 4 10mm bolts, just invest in a nice 3/8" drive electric impact for the easy to reach stuff. Vband as many spots as needed, firewall plug for engine harness.

dont go crazy with unneeded lines in the bay. ( keep things simple another words)

thats what i learned. got rid of oil cooler. probably not going water cooled on the next turbo also.
& fu*k that damn 5 bolt exhaust sh*t (never again) that thing haunted me every time when it had to come off. lol

also quick connects on vac lines

Best tool I have found for quick removal of parts is a hammer

build the setup with logic for these situations. have a rhythm for removing stuff...know exactly what is needed.

I want to convert my front bumper to dzues whatevers for quick removal, thats on the list, especially if i go wide body.

Pegasus Auto Racing Supplies has those fittings, but they are pretty expensive. Check under their plumbing section.

Zip ties and a hammer work for me.
My entire front end is held together with zip ties.
