How does one make a front end?

Looking at this one, love the head light btw, but.... it does not look like a modded front clip, it looks like a whole new one to me at least. Just got me wondering how does one do that? Have it digitized and then a mold made by a big arse CNC then lay it up in that? That seems like a lot of work for a one off effort, as I assuming there is no cheap/easy way to do it. It is not like making a binnacle with foam and eyeballing it.

Any how just curious, figured someone would know, interesting information to know.

not really a one off though, picture taken at SS workshop by the look of it!
From memory I think those front ends were based on the old LM3000 front clip.
SS has the moulds and they can be made to order, although fitting does require modification/repacement of the front radiator cage etc.

That looks like the GTW during it's early stages.
A Google of pistonheads + GTW should find more info on it.

Changes were not just the front end.

after a little closer inspection it looks like that might even be Waynes finely chiselled torso in discussion with Steve on the left....
