Hey Max...  Been a while...  How did that truck turn out??   What is the tightest radius do you use with .030" glass near your tips??  And what about .040" glass also??  I have been thinking about designing a new bow with a tight radius near the tips...

(.030 )2" radius on the back, but my stack was always around .250.
hard to get the gaps closed. At first my hook was coming around 70/80 degrees. I would go with 3" or more
The truck is a long project, maybe next spring.
