If you know anyone that could get it.. I have a guy that does it and we could get a mold made.. I’m sure we could get enough people who want one .. So we could split the cost

Anyone wanting a mustang fastback body reach out to me on PM. I’m trying to get an idea of many bodies I will make on the first run

Bill Thomas Cheetah, unfortunately no vector drawings available:
https://www.the-blueprints.com/blueprin ... ah__1963_/
A very long time ago I had a go at making a modelling clay Cheetah body, I used a lexan slot car body as the mould. My idea was to slice the clay model into sections, draw around the sections, enlarge them, transfer to thin wood (balsa, whatever) and use them to build up a 1/4 larger scale clay model. Here's the evidence
I suppose these days it would be easier to paint the slot car body, 3D scan it, and go from there.

It's a real one...full scale. frame is to spec and may be original. body seems to be first year of reproduction under Bill Thomas before they cancelled the rights. It's pretty awesome! Needs work.

You're extremely lucky! Post some pictures of the frame and body, I'm sure lots of members would like to see them.

I'll take a Mustang when available. I need the juices and brain gears to start flowing again.
