Boy, I knew those headlights were going to be a difficult part to make. Glad to see you figured something out for them. It looks good. One more to go!

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.

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