FYI, you can't really vectorize that artwork.  It's just not the kind of artwork that will translate well into a vectorized-look.  Way too many gradients and textures.  As a rule of thumb, the less an image looks like a cartoon, the less likely it will look good vectorized.

What he said....  If you own that cab then the best way to preserve that artwork is to gently lay the cab on it's side, take a flatbed scanner and scan the entire machine at maximum dpi and have it stitched together.  (You can scan it without placing the machine on it's side, but it is VERY difficult.)  Then a photoshop guru can take the scratches out of course.  The filesize would be HUGE, but it's still the best way to do it.

I own that cab, but I dont have a flatbed scanner I took a SUPER HIGH res photo (the pic he posted is like 1/10 or less of the original size) , so that was the best I could do.
