Re: [SilverStreak] SS sabre logo casting

["Jason Parks" <jjparks@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Patti, my apologies for the delay in replying -- i was refinishing the 
floors in the house and had packed everything up for a couple days. I 
haven't got too far on the costing. I dropped my SS and Sabre logo off after 
our last round of emails and being a favour --- it seems paying jobs took 
precedence! The pricing from Tom seems very reasonable and it would be hard 
to get a better cost plus shipping from Vancouver Island always seems to 
cost a premuim.

thanks Tom for taking this on!
Jason
