Custom wide bodies as in making one or what exactly? Depending on how you want to style it you can create a skeleton or frame and fill it with two part urethane foam then shape it as you desire. I have made up complete skeletons before and filled with sheets of foam or the two part liquid foam as I mentioned. You can also do a total free form and just use say cardboard to make a box around the body area you wish to add foam. Once it is dry you can pull off the cardboard and you are left with foam straight on the body. You can also just cut and pull the metal on the car then add the amount you desire. There are several ways to do it it just depends on the style outcome you want, what materials you want to use, and what area you are skilled in.
