Larry Stock has a complete fiberglas Mangusta body already made, plus the molds necessary to make others. The molds are multi-piece so extra doors, hoods and rear decks are also possible for both Mangustas and Panteras. He even has molds for interior parts like dashboards and rear upholstery panels. FWIW, building a decent racing frame is not as complicated as building a good looking body to fit onto it, IMHO. There are several race shops that could scratch-build a frame, depending on what you're plans are.
As far as the GT-40 connection, one of the original GT-40 service shops in Switzerland when the GT-40s were actively racing (Sbarro), built a few clones using rusty Panteras as the base. Never actually seen one but supposedly they used the entire Pantera floor & front/rear subframes, with custom upper bracing for replica GT-40 bodies. Ford set up service shops in Germany, England & Switzerland to rebuild crash damage, engines etc during the '65-'68 period.
