Google fiberglass molds, there is a lot of info that might help you. Good luck on the project, keep us updated.

Thanks.

I've spent the last few days reading everything I can find on the subject. I'm just not sure if it would be better to make a plug, mold, then the nose, or if it would be easier to just mod. an existing 'glass nose.

Mod an existing to perfection, then make a mold.

Ray-Dean,

Using an existing F/G front end would make the process easier than making a complete mold of the front end plus extension, unless you plan to do some extensive modifications like Sam suggested.

If you use a cross-sectional cut as a contour (such as near the cowl where the panels would be relatively constant) then making a mold and a male part would be relatively (there's that word again) easy. Grafting the 36" section to an existing F/G front end would be a piece of cake!
