Hi Bill,
I did have a look at your thread, and faced the same problems, I used wooden formers to get the shape then infilled with cheap ply, upon all this I put Easysand Body filler, after getting the shape I wanted I used 2 pack high build primer, got this to how I wanted it then polished it up with a mop and polishing compound on one section and the other (the front) I 2 pack painted, then polished.
I think body filler would eat the foam (unless coated with epoxy), I am sure there are other things you could use to give a barrier between foam and filler if that was the way you wished to go.
It is a diffacult dilema, having done it once I would not use wood again (it shrinks and expands etc too much) instead would use steel/filler (but am aware this would not be that practical!!!!)
If there is anything I can help you with do not hesitate to send me a message, most of "how I did it" is on the flickr page, should give you an idea how I went about it.
regards Chris
