I've used i-Solids for 3D prints too large for me when I wanted it to be one piece. I found them on craftcloud and it was cheaper to go through them then it was through craftcloud.

Just some process pics here.
Needed to reattach the lower portion of the nose, hot-glued some paint sticks to anchor it in place, flat, so it can be fiberglass'd in place .
2 layers of 1 1/2oz mat laid down in the back over the cut joint.
After the above cured solid, ground out the cut joint to get down to clean glass, used a round carbide burr.
Not a great pic here, but used 1/32" glass fibers + resin to create a fiberglass paste and filled that grove that was ground out. Let it cure and then sanded flat. That's all for that now until it gets to body work.
Installed and then set up a laser level to start mounting the bumperette's.
Using a mix of some fiberglass ribs with a metal mounting bracket. Drilled some holes to create a path for the same fiberglass paste to flow through. The end result will be a combination of a chemical and mechanical (mostly) bond to anchor the metal mounting brackets. This is before the fiberglass paste, used a little hot-glue to hold the bracket in place while the glass is laid down.
This is the first step in laying down the fiberglass paste.
Hope all is well for everyone.
Bumperette mounts are complete. They are done until bodywork time.
Final sand on the lower splitter plug. Will start the mold next week.
