David,
You are correct. A good genuine pinstriper is the best way if you want i t to look original. Many of the car pinstripers are not used to doing th is sort of work, mainly on account of the small round tubes involved. I find they do charge more to do box lining. Most of them can do regular c ar striping practically blindfolded. But the box lining requires careful lay out using tape as a reference line. Then they freehand about 1/16" from the tape. Takes 2 to 3 hours to do a typical frame. They do cars in no time flat.

You should try to find an old school pin striper, one that uses a brush inst ead of tape. A good striper can do the fine lines that make the box stri pe l ook correct. Try a hot rod or show car club to find a good one. Make sure he / she kn ows
how fine the line should be.
