Re: [SilverStreak] Mark on the SS sabre logo casting

["moppo1" <moppo1@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom
  I will be interested in the castings 
  I understand that the castings will be from a 1967 which is my year, but are all the logos in 60s the same?

  I think it will be up to those who want the castings to decide if they want 
to have them done via water jet or not.

I am only offering to see if I can get some cast in aluminum, and to do so 
if I can. I ran into this water jetting before with my Streamline 
lettering. I did not like the finished product, which was as you say, 
square cornered, and ended up having them redone with cast aluminum, which 
did turn out quite well.

I will only be supplying the cast logos. Any finishing can be done by the 
user either by way of powder coating, or by a spray paint such as I used.

Thank you for the information you have supplied though. It will be useful 
to those who will be getting the logos to help them decide how to proceed.

-Tom
