Re: Volvo VN780 king sleeper made in France

Re: Volvo VN780 king sleeper made in France
 

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.
