How does one make a front end?

[ebeck]

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.
