Little teaser of my 9/0 progress

Well I've yet to assemble the guts will all the goodies, but I couldn't wait to see how it'd look. So here it is, my first hot rod reel build.

It looks like AT's arm & knob.

I didn't realize that Alan's arms were so beefie. They look as thick as Lee's Keta kranks

Looks sharp, nice job. Nice job on the thumb nail as well, it matches nicely

The 6/0-9/0 arms are thicker than the 113H or jigmaster arms.

I took the rings/star/post back down to brass, epoxy primes it and did a base/clear on them. As for the side plates, I just did black base and a matte clear. It's the same paint I spray on cars all day (sikkens), we'll see how it holds up on a reel. And it's Alan's handle and knob, I forget what size though.

Alan wanted to be sure that the arm would not bend the way everyone has been leaning on them...so he opted to for thicker and stronger.

Wow, congrats. A thing of beauty.
