Part of me wondered if there would be a way to measure a model car
(like you put together as a kid) and somehow get measurements off of
it, increase those based on whatever scale the model is, and somehow
use those to create drawings to base a buck or mold off of. I may
know a place that has a CMM but am unfamiliar with it.
Wooden ship builders made models and then scaled them up to full size.
You could look into their procedures.

Engineers' and architects' scales allow you to measure a model as
though it was full-sized.
