It was scanned in and used as a template for a layer. Then build what you need to do in Illustrator, and then delete the scanned in layer as you were just using it as a guide.
They will be available to buy soon. It just takes forever and I am working with a well known company who does this stuff. Yes, I had to cannibalize genuine EII labels that I removed with a heat gun to do all this. Eventually I will have to do another painted EII with non-factory colors and with non-original colors for the label(s), with some cool 5mm washed out aqua LED's, and of course a Noritake VFD. Non of the non factory color jobs I have seen on the internet have looked all that great. I'll have it done right.
I'm working on a couple other little EII stuff before all that.
