The XXX bodies/cars were made at Saleen in Troy, Michigan.
Two RCR employees modified the cobra replica tube chassis and then laid up the bodies over a foam core plug generated from CAD data supplied by Ford.
Be very careful as manufacturers are super sensitive about their current/ recent designs......whether they plan to use them or not.
We did some renderings with the same plan about two and a half years ago and surrendered them to Ford for review, even though we changed over 25% of the Ford designed shape it was still too close.Ford reasoning was that if someone could mistake it for the original concept car then it was too close and an infringement on their IP.....Oh well......
