The cost to do the head is approximately the same as most local shops that you'll find. If a local shop can do it significantly cheaper...........there's a reason for that.
Totally agree , I appreciate the response. Yes , you do get ... exactly ... what you pay for. Knowledge is value, and specialized knowledge is more valuable.

BTW , is your no.22 a spare for your fleet of SDL's or a pending project or just cluttering up your basement ?
