#1 establish guide lines i.e. center line, ribs, lumps of clay defining 
clearance above existing parts, fill voids with cardboard, crumpled newspaper 
ect.mix 2# density foam and pour in small quantities controlling spill with 
taped 
in place paper, or get an insulation company to spray it. shape with saws, 
elec.plane, curry comb, rasp, "cheese grater" finish with sandpaper, when 
close, 
thin 20min sheetrock mud and spray with your favorite gun pressure  pot works 
best, sand -spray-sand spray ect, apply a thick coat of partal #2 wax spray 
multiple coats pva mold release let dry and lay up glass, Centerline is most 
helpful for establishing semetricity, you can make half  outside templates by 
pushing cheap thin rigid plastic into foam and tracing. Thanks Jack
