Nice! I like the silver frame. Silver will hold up the best too, since the scratches won't show.

The handle arrived today (Thanks Lee)

Needed one small mod to take the T Bar from Dawn but its all together now

And I'm very happy with it. I'd like to thank BMitch, Keta and Dawn for their help with my little project

Beautiful reel. The handle with Lee's arm looks great. The newer Tib frames are really nice with the integrated inner ring. I wish they would have done that all along. Thanks for posting the pics.

Really nice project. Very hard for a new reel to compete with these hot rodded old timers. Your grandson will be able to fish with that one. :)  Sure would like to have my old 56 Chevy to tinker with. :-\
