Contemporary Fiberglass was selected to produce the bodies following some problems with the Fiberglass Trends molds. The first were produced by two different companies - Contemporary Fiberglass and Fiberglass Trends. The production models used fiberglass bodies. Other components were stocked from the larger GM parts bin, such as Chevrolet passenger car spindles, and NASCAR spec Chevrolet drum brakes. Using his racing connections, Thomas arranged for material assistance from Chevrolet for the major components - the Corvette 327 engine, Muncie transmission, and independent rear-end assemblies. Financing for the project came from private investors, Thomas, and John Grow, a Rialto California Chevrolet dealer. Edmunds is credited with the bulk of the construction of the car.
It was designed by Thomas and Don Edmunds, his lead fabricator. In 1963 Thomas gained covert support from General Motors Performance Product Group head Vince Piggins to develop the Cheetah as a concept vehicle. Diferent parts of the model (steering wheel, lights, tires and wheels, wing mirrors, seats, etc.) are compiled in components and grouped in one single model. Materials and Textures in model from Sketchup library and VRay library. This model was designed in Sketchup and converted to other formats using the buit-in sketchup converter.
