You know that General who spoke his mind about God?
Well, I would rather have him in my country being a General, than I would like to have those that are bad mouthing him, and I wish we could find a way to get rid of the liberal creeps who want to get rid of God & Country in America.

i don't have any clue what it would cost, like casting the block, mini ignition. everything is so custon & one of a kind. if i had to guess, i would say $50,000 for casts, parts & raw materials and about 6 to 10 40-hour weeks of machining.
A lot would depend on access to machining equipment, like if you had a cool boss or owned the place.
In any case, it's definitely more than Mrs. Fierce Allegiance would allow me.
By the way, check out this cool toy:
