Thank you to everyone that helped me along the way.  All upgrades obtained from board members.  I love it and can't wait to make my wife a purple version soon!  The only thing I will be adding soon will be a new handle and Eva knob.  Thanks again everyone and have a happy new year!

Gorgeous reel Killer!
Someone else mentioned silver with green plates, I can't remember who. He knew what he was talking about, great color combination. Mine will be the same.

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

The silver frame really brings out the green!

Awesome looking 501! Are you going with the Penn 3 position handle and drilling out the knob or the aluminum handle blank for ebay + adams EVA knob? I'm a little bit jealous of all you guys who were paying attention early and managed to snag the Green plates. Waiting on confirmation if Tom has any Red/Black ones left for me.
