no it depnds it shoudlnt really cost that much when i was looking a my lf concave 41 it just looks like a 7 ply deck that they add 4 properly shapped peices to that give the feal of the concave so if u build those correctly and sand em and make em all nicly concaved just glue em on and it should be all good. Should be a really cool project if u do it right. Shouldnt cost to much money either just a couple pices of wood and alot of planning.

yeah a good solid non-water soluable glue. i would got to home depot or a hardware store and talk to the people there...make sure u dont talk to some jerk off that just wants to get to the next customer, find some1 that knows there stuff and im sure they will know. also i dont know how much it will cost but also think about how much time your going to spend on researching and actually doing the project and then wat if it doesnt work, a concave from last year on boardstop isnt much at all. personal i think it would be an awsome feat if you did it but just consider it. oh and good luck
