I did not purchase the parts because I would have to split them and patch in wedges to make them fit. What I did do was: 1. create a front (to match a Dragonfly canopy)and back form to fit my needs, 2. got some 1/2 in insulating foam from Home Depot, 3. stripped off the static plastic, glass one side, 4. cut grooves in the foam to allow bending over the forms, 5. filled the grooves created by the draped foam with micro, 6. sanded the foam/micro once the micro had dried, 7. glassed the now rigid turtle (or fore) deck. I didn't do a perfect job, but for the perfectionists who take time in the sanding, it can result in a strong, well formed, light setup. It is also both cheap and fast costing maybe $20 and 4 hours to do both the turtle and fore decks (not including final micro finish).
