Monograms kits in the 80's seem to lack that,I usually use Evergreen scale models strips .015x.030,it works perfect but since you have painted your car it may be hard to do without messing the paint.

Looks pretty good, as you can probably tell by my name I'm a fiero fanatic and have owned half a dozen real ones and I would happily drive the one you built.

P.s. if anyone has an extra fiero kit laying around they would like to trade off let me know.

Thanks Foxer. I do not mask anymore I refuse too.  All free hand with the outer trim traced with a fine black ink pen.  Then I paint between the lines.  Try it on your crown Vic. Might save you the hassle

I had forgotten about this little beauty, Nice to see that you're going to finish it.  

Thanks. Good to be back at the bench. Lost my mojo for a bit. And dive right into gran turismo for a while

I think that's how I'll repair it in the end. I used to draw a mean line with paint, my Dad always made me do the window trim on the house. My hand isn't as steady any more, thou   erheh

Nice to see progress on this. I have a Fiero that I've owned for 23 years now. It's a mild custom and has over 235,000 miles on it. I started building a model that will come very close to mine but set it aside a while ago. I just found wheels that are very close to mine and plan to restart it in a couple of months.

Good luck with yours, it's looking great.

This poor thing was tossed back in its box because I was not happy with the trim.  Well I have putty drying on my tank barrel. 
 

so lucky fiero got pulled back out.   Here how she sits now

My aunt and Uncle both had Fieros after my uncle got tired of MGBs. His was a bright yellow 87 non GT, hers was a White 88 GT. Surprisingly fun little cars after he scienced out the suspension.

Little updates.  Painted the front dam and bottom side trim.
