fiberglass front bumper - mold
I would like to create a new front bumper out of fiberglass so that I can smooth it in better with the body lines of the car (1967 Cougar). I don't want to chop up the chrome bumper as it is in good shape and hard to find.
Has any one made a fiberglass bumper. Trying to decided if I should make make a mold of the existing bumper, and then use this to make the new fiberglass bumper. Can I lay fiberglass right over the bumper with just some wax to release the mold?
I was also thinking it might be better to create a foam mold. Maybe fill in my old bumper with spray foam, pull this out when hard, and then place fiber glass over the mold.
Any tips would be appreciated.

I made my own carbon fiber bumper. I made a mold off the bumper I built. If you can get the VFN one then it will save you a ton of time and not cost much more then making it yourself.
