a practical scratch build

practical=logical.
words not useually associated with Cobra!!
Anyway I can build frame,suspension,wiring,engine,EFI & ect.
I can paint it myself but I cannot scratch build paint, I will have to buy a gallon!
BUT
I think it would be an impractical use of my time to fabricate a
windshield & frame,headlights,taillights,seats,door latches,trunk gasket,instruments
(wow scratch built instruments)
I could grow my own cow and scratch build a leather interior!
SO MY QUESTION TO THE GROUP IS
Duz anyboby know of a "one stop shop"
to purchase a body and all the stuff that goes on to it (see above)
PLUS
does anybody have any feedback on the quality of the reproduction parts being sold for the Cobra builder..
I have restored several VW` Bugs (why bother) with cheapo parts and the upholsery falls apart,the chrome peels,the bumpers are really thin metal,the reproduction sheet metal sucks &ect

I will not be home for another14 months.. but this means I have time to research
