If I could get some help with this it would be much appreciated...

I'm sorry, I know you've been waiting since July for an ID to this font - and I can't help you. But I can suggest fonts that are similar that may help you in what you are trying to do - or maybe this will spark someone to figure out for you what it truly is.

Suggestions:
LP Pinsel Satt (and they have some alternatives - like an s): http://myfonts.us/td-t3yozp
Roadstar Italic: http://myfonts.us/td-8nFsmX

and I actually ran it through myfonts - and the closest it came was Matrix Script Bold....: http://myfonts.us/td-44q0Ka

THANKS! I think Roadstar will do!
