8x10x8 is only 2.7 gallons... 231 cu in per gallon. On the using foam and making a shell... I did that with my turtledeck and it works great. I used painters plastic (2 mil variety) for my release film. Point is, just make sure you get EVERY wrinkle out of the plastic, because it will make a mess of the layup.. Ask me how I know.
What I use now is Monokote (plastic heatshrink film that R/C modelers use. It sticks to what you put it on and then you just shrink it with a heat gun... No more wrinkles and a perfect finish.

Also the Specs on the foam used in the kits. I am not talking about generic names and densities but ASTM numbers if any one has them. That will go along way for me to find local sources. I am in the position of making a 3-/2 gal header tank 8" wide x 10" long x 8" deep instead of the premolde cowl tank shell. Will have a mech fastened & gasketed cover with all the vents, tank interconnections & filler in the lid and a low point feed to the engine, tank Drain & sight glass in the bottom. I plan on forming the tank up with florist foam blocks and covering them with Poly-ethylene bags or better yet Poly-Vinyldene film( Stretch & Seal wrap)and then lay up the tank on the form. When it is cured take the foam out and test shell for leaks. Opinions? Suggestions?
