I was home today, the mailman came and handed me a box, I wasn't expecting anything ???
I opened it up and found this beautiful kit from Ted (Maxed Out), this wasn't just a kit, this was my own personal kit, so I decided to put it together.

Here are the all the parts I used for this assembly:

and the assembled reel









Ted, you really got me with this one, I don't know what to say, but thank you.
This reel now means a lot to me and I will always cherish it, that was so thoughtful of you.

Sal

By the way guys, the color and workmanship on these is spot on, I can't find a flaw  anywhere.
These latest kits compliment Tom's plates nicely.

Thanks again Ted!
Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Nothing wrong with a pleasant surprise, right Sal :D?? The red spool sets it all off. It amazes me how far we have come with customizing the 113H, and I never get tired of seeing your impressive builds. Somehow I see this one getting handed down in the Ciarlante family for generations to come !!

I noticed the nut holding the lever is missing the nylon washer that's supposed to go between the nut and the lever. It should have been in the package with the shift lever. If I forgot it, then I'll send you one

 The standard width seat is a prototype and is not yet being considered for production. Chris made this seat without my knowledge. ...of course I had input on the custom logo ;D, which will be an option in the near future. (for just a few bucks extra)

 Also the colored O-rings are more for show, as they are not as thick as the black ones. That's why both sets come with each shifter.

....Ooops almost forgot to mention I couldn't help myself and gave your bars a test ride prior to shipping  ;D ;D (quality control) ;) ;)

  They don't look half bad on a stock 113H 8)

No Ted, you did not forget to include the washer, I forgot to install it...too excited.
Your new anodizer hit the nail on the head with this one, it's as close as you're going to get to the plates.
These kits are amazing Ted, great job designing them and for getting  guys that really know what they're doing, making them a reality.
Thanks again buddy.

Sal

Ted, I agree! those look very nice, even with stock plates and stand. You did good buddy!

Thanks Ted.  Once again your thoughtfulness overwhelms me.  Sal, fish it in good health paisano.  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
