I guess this is not a common building practice, but here goes. When we, translated I, made the first bow for the turtle deck, Jerry had all the strips of wood nicely cut and I put them together. What a mess, I'm sure that Jerry could have done a much better job of it, but it did go together and we used it for the first mounting of the turtle deck. Then I decided that it might be easier to build them out of foam and glass, so I took that bow off and used it as a template for making a bow out of foam. Of course, I then covered the foam bow with glass and it is super strong. I did the same for the inner bow on the turtle deck and the bow for the windshield. That was a "piece of cake". If you think it won't be strong enough, use carbon fiber.
So much for "common building practice". See N64KR at http://KRBuilder.org - Then click on the pics See you in Mt.
