Yeah, thatīs right! scratch built.

I need to search for older pictures, here are some pictures of the progress, but not the first pictures of all,

the model was built from MDF, I made the stereotomy of the model and cutted all the slices to form the body,

then I covered it with BONDO and sanded until the shape was really close to the actual shape of the car,

then I started to measure all the model, to make it simetric on both sides, and this is the hardest part of all, It took like a year of measuring and sanding to get it all shaped simetrically.

then I started to sand it with thinner sandpapers.

After the sanding with a sandpaper 1000 I spray painted it with grey primer to search for more spots and failures in the finish.
