After a few shots dremel targeted, I find myself with two small parts that will have to work better. Thickness = 2mm translucent, it's big but the advantage is that it's tough (seen drivers on the track ......) and especially I can heated with heatgun to give good shape

http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8216/photo1139.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/715/photo1139.jpg/)

After one hour of work: cutting, sanding, heatgun , several times by small strokes, is the result, I succeeded in keep the exterior angle of the wing and the curve ........ . pfuiiiii , more to make the left side .......

wow those pieces are coming together nicely. great job on windows. i want a model r mack but always saw the glass as a problem and you make it look easy.great job

[dabears]

Grill came out great!!!!

[Espeefan]

Very nice work! As already mentioned, you make making windows and lenses look so easy. Sooner or later I will faced with the same challenge. I too, need to make windows, although mine will be a little easier, being flat panes of glass, rather then pieces that are curved. The visor turned out nice.

[scalepaintn]

B U tea full !!!!!!!! the grill is perfect. love it!!

Thanks guys ,
That's a lot of time to manufacture all those parts that are not in the trade, but what happiness ...

The volvo is really turning out beautiful.:) I like how you mounted the transmission, and a great color choice.:D Your time and effort is really paying off.:D;):):cool: Do you have any close up pic's on the rear suspension? That is interesting.:cool::cool::cool:

Big John

[BRICKNICK]

Very interesting, I'm amazed at the way you mounted the motor/trans sideways behind the fairings of the body. The tilt hood looks great, and the cab and sleeper are great as well.

[NWTrucks]

Wow that is just beautiful! I love that engine in there and the transmission look just great. Very very nice, well worth the extra effort.

[hippy]

just out right sexy!

[Espeefan]

The paint looks great! The bodywork is perfect. Sometimes with builds like this, you see little flaws in the styrene, but everything looks so smooth, even after a layer of paint! I can't wait to see more photos, with color sprayed.

Painting the engine to match the truck is always cool in my book.:):D;):cool: And the mesh in the sides of the hood look's really nice.:):D Your builds are always a pleasure to see come together. Great job on a masterpiece.:D:D:D

The Volvo looks great!!! I agree the matching pain on the motor looks good! all the details you have put in this truck are awesome!

[Espeefan]

Such flawless bodywork! It really shows off nicely in the sun. How did you make metal trim around the hood vents? Looks really nice!

[wolfws6]

This truck is amazing!!!! The headlights turn out perfect, and great job on the hood vents.

I'm very impressed by the body work you did, I wish I had skills like that.

[scalelover]

Man this rig just keeps getting better and better every time I check the thread. This thing is just plain old sexy. Keep the updates coming I'm always looking forward to them.

Wow that is sooooooo cool! Coolest looking aerodynamic style truck I have ever seen. The chrome mirror stuff is the ticket I can't wait to try that technique. Also for the bumper did you use a stock batterybox/step? Its awesome. Your styrene work is one of the best I have ever seen. :D
Keep it up.
