you want the fiberglass to follow the uneven surface, the closer it follows the surface, the less excess adhesive, the stronger the structure. the proper way to address this is to smooth the foam before you glass it, as you want to lay all your glass at the same time in each section to get the best strength out of it possible.

why won't you listen to all the people telling you the ways wood glue is a bad idea? we all know from first hand experience what the right methods/materials are. your wood glue heats up when it bends? what do you think will happen around the suspension and motor mounts, anything put under constant forces? it will heat up and flex more, and more (your words), and more (the warmer it gets, the more it will flex, the more it flexes, the warmer it will get, on and on), until it gets so hot it will fail. this has fail stamped all over it, but you won't listen to the experienced professionals trying to tell you all the ways this is a bad idea. it may work fine for your tests, but in the real world, on structural areas of the car, this is a bad idea.
