Having looked into getting a 3d scan in the uk, by a pro, a cobra body would cost about £600-£800, if I wanted it sectioned for stations for a buck.
The guy had previously scanned a Ferrari, so asked him to send me a cross section to see the clarity of what I could expect, it wasn't usable in my opinion, too much editing required to get the smooth shapes expected to make an accurate buck.
Therefore from what I saw, you need someone that understands car shapes and has the required skills to work out the inaccuracies of the scan, whilst retaining the important dimensional structure to make an accurate buck.
Ive started using Rhino5 and don't find it as daunting as first thought, but I'm a long way off working with meshes and editing scans, but it's something I think I can achieve, like metal shaping, it's another tool to learn.
I can see me getting the iPad scanner just to play with, got to start somewhere.
