I guess I did it.  First was the before picture, the second was halfway through the project and the last is the finished product.  My reel had the five drag stack with the HT 100 drag washers, so cleaning and greasing was all I did.  On my reels, I can access the drags from the side without breaking down the reel, so if I want to go to a 7 drag stack I can do that in the future.

Good job Legal Bill.  Thanks for the photos.  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.

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

Hey, thanks for all the support guys.  Up until this reel I had disassembled many Penn reels, but the reassembly was all about cleaning, replacing worn parts, and greasing everything up.  Other than upgrading the drag washers, this was my first modification.  I was a bit nervous about it.  Now I need to order another frame kit.  :D

Well crew, I'm signing in from Jamaica now.  I only have a minute because the fiancé is getting her hair ready to go out for dinner. 
Bill, nice job on the 9/0 frame mod, and I'm glad you like the finished product.  That's what it's all about... Feeding our habit :D
Thanks for the compliment, but all I did was motivate Tom a bit, and he did the rest. It's nice having a quality machinist on our team isn't it ;)
Stay well,
Dom

Did you powdercoat the rings Bob? Or just paint.

I used Gun Kote. The rings were in bad shape. My air compressor died a while back and I haven't fixed or repaired it. When I do I'll sand blast them and redo them. I'm not proud of the way they came out.  Bob

Bob, I bet that reel looks much better than you're showing. I believe I told you this before, you're a master of all treads, but a lousy photographer ;D. Good job Bob.
