Default Ferrari 250 California spyder body...wanted

Hi
Does anybody have ferrari 250 California spyder body and or molds available for sale , looking for a body that is an exact replica or close enough that I can modify to make perfect exact replica , I would prefer a body that is designed for tube chassis type car but would be interested in a body kit/panels that are accurate, DNA made a kit that went onto a BMW z-3 ,does anybody know if any of those panels were accurate?
Kind
Regards
Matt

The only way you will get a "perfect, exact replica", would be to take a mould from a genuine car. That is very unlikely to happen.
Your best bet would be to find / buy a DNA which looks the part. Not a 100% replica because its based on the Z3 so there are compromises.
It will depend upon your plans, is it a one off or do you have intentions beyond that? The DNA operation was shut down thanks to Ferrari getting involved so rumour has it.

Thank you for the input , that's too bad about DNA , some guys buy the 3D software and have a plywood buck made or make a foam plug and proceed with a mold from there, just courious if anyone might have one available....
