9/0 Frame Kit

[broadway]

Hey Dominick, today it's warm water, soon it's gonna be cold water so it'll cool that reel off when you hook up with the big one in one of your tournaments to bring the gold home to AT.com
Chris,  Great shot, but what are you doing with Dominick's dentures? 
Glad you guys are finally receiving them, and feasting your eyes on one of Tom's masterpieces.
Enjoy crew,
Dom
PS- can't wait to see some gator colors and the process... take photos if possible!

Thank You Dom and Tom. It was definitely worth the wait Brother!

I received my silver frame today... absolutely stunning... it should be in New York's Museum of Modern Art!

My hearty thanks to all the talented gentlemen who made it available to us. You guys rock!

Dom,

You're certainly proving that the crew from alantani.com can put out some Quality product!

Gator Color scheme is what i am thinking of going with.
Heres the ides running through my head. Powder coat the rings and top post blue. Then get a 3k-5k oranage with some detail brushes and detail the engraving the come on the side plates and protect it with a high UV high gloss clear coat. The black and silver should give it a beautiful contrast. What do ya'll think.

...don't you have the ones that came out of the reel?

Sal, yes, but they are pretty badly chewed up. Whoever had this poor reel (obviously a nitwit) must've turned them out with a chisel... and then re-attached the eccentric lever backwards. I'm tellin' ya, some people...!

Its part of the process Aiala. You are rolling the dice on ebay.
I saw this for a good price this evening and had to have it.

I went to pay and Lo and Behold, Guess who the seller was?
Tom Hryniuk! Small World! I Bet this was the Model for our frames.
Silver and Gold Baby!

Yeah, I know. It's okay, though, because I derive great satisfaction from resurrecting a reel that has been abused almost to death.

Nice score on that gold frame!! Now if only someone would offer a <bleeping> left-hand sideplate for my Mag Power 980...)

Thanks a great score.

Tom, I just love your work.  By the way, if you are going to make another run, would it be possible to lower the from cross bar even more?  There are a few reels that I have worked on that even with the cross bar being as low as it is, there are line groves due the the line angle with a bent rod.  Just wondering if the front could be like the rear to eliminate this?  Just wondering.

Lol, I saw that 9/0 listed and saved it to my watch list to see how long it would take to sell.  As I suspected, not long at all on a deal like that.
The funny part is that I know both the seller and buyer of this frame that was used as a model for the DomTom frames. love it!

Bryan,
   The nice part is that it's not made of aluminum so it shouldn't get any grooves and the fact that it's round should help with that, also.
Thanks
Dom

Nice work!
I'd like to see a pic of the completed reel when available, if possible.
I suspect the black side plates will really set off that gold color

Tom is throwing in a silver clamp.
Muuhahahahah!
