Pink,
I wish I knew. They got the mustang body from Kenny Hirata. I was talking to Kenny and Dave a few weeks ago about this very question. Kenny could not remember who painted the body. Nellie and Otis had the body lettered. Nellie can't remember who did the lettering either. She just remembers they flew someone in from California to letter it. She said it was a real big deal then. The lettering was gold leaf too.

Dave Hirata wants to paint the car because he remembers it from when he was a kid and his dads involvement with the car. So he will be painting it when it is ready to paint.
