Sounds like the perfect setup for a blizzard but apparently if i calculated it correctly the price would be over a thousand dollars american

The price you figured may well be true: In America, the Wal-Mart mentality rules! I can vouch for this simply because of the many domestic requests I get for custom this-and-that, but the subject of price comes up before the specs are even worked out: Speaking plainly, American guys are cheap to a fault. I do about 40% of my biz in Europe now, and that will probably grow. To have the best, custom, mind-blowing stuff don't come inexpensively, and most of what you see online is by guys that do it themselves, for themselves, just for the love of it, and it shows! I get the idea that most Germans are accomplished machinists with lots of free time or something. Chris
