You are one fast body man.

Didn't turn out to bad for your first Job. Keep it up!
It's an art I've been working at for some time.

Looks a lot better than it did, that's for sure. I've done more than my fair share of body work over the years. The only thing I like about it is the results when it's done.
If you use painters tape, you won't get "friggin tape residue". Masking off an area is fine while sanding and priming. Then it's better to remove the tape and paper, wet sand the primer to taper it, and apply the color and clear. The paint will transition smoother and you won't end up with a "hard line" from where the tape was. Dupli Color is a very transparent lacquer based paint, as you saw. Red primer would have helped the color blend easier and sooner. I'm not nit-picking or criticising at all, it looks like it turned out OK. Only making it easier for the next time, if there ever is one.
And what was with the tractor in the background constantly doing loop-de-loops?

just think the v6 will save on gas, and the tickets! Not just that, but there don't seem to many highways in the US that let you top out your car anyway, what's the point of a v8 that sucks gas and goes 120+ if you can't drive it 120+??
