Shannon,
My two cents worth. I would somewhat nix the plan "B".
Your car is probably in the registry as glass car, and any serious modifications to it may complicate matters down the road.
"Was it wrecked, and that is why it got a new skin?"
"It says it is glass in the book"
and many other questions may come to play at the expense of your car.

Plan "A" is better, IMHO. Sell the car for what it is, a Real Shelby Cobra, and turn around and buy a Shelby or a Kirkham alloy car.
I believe you would be better of.
