Here's the guy I used here in Vegas to do my '65 Dodge;
Carl Brunson
2444 Losee Rd
North Las Vegas, NV 89030
(702) 651-0133

I'm not sure about the mural/lettering thing, all I had done was body and paint. But Carl has been around for quite a while and would know where to get those extra things done if he's not doing them now. He would be a good resource for your buddy in any event. In my case he did what he committed to, at the price he quoted and came in pretty close to the time frame we agreed on, though given that I only live here part time I wasn't on a tight schedule and didn't have the ability to make frequent visits to keep the prod on. Considering that, the timing was pretty respectable. Of course you're welcome to use my name as a referal.
