Before you cut it in half make a simple splash mould about 6" to 8" right down the middle including the rad opening and anything below that. Then cut the nose right down the centre. Use the splash mould as a jig to hold the nose to the right width then simply 'glass up from the inside and bob's yer uncle fanny's wotsit.....but you will have some filling to do to blend things back in so it will never be a gel coat finish.

Simples really
