new 5500C's

Here's a couple more 5500C's I've been working on.A Burgundy,and a Sandblasted Grey.The Burgundy is a proto-type color,and the sandblasted has been around for a while in Japan.I took pictures of the Burgundy next to my Brown 5500 to show the difference in color.In the sunlight it really stands out.I also went with a Grey anodized frame for the Sandblasted side plates to give it a different look.

Re: new 5500C's

Oldschool, your work is fantastic. I would like to ask, are you painting old reels to make them look this good?

I have not completely forgotten about geting you the no.s of the 5000's that I have, but I always get sidetracked when I go down to the shop to get them. Someday.........

David

Re: new 5500C's

Thanks David,I appreciate the compliment.I actually buy the side plates already anodized those colors.They run about $75 a set,and I think they're worth it.As for your reel,I'll be around for a while so don't sweat it.I've got a few more reels I'm working on,and I'll post pictures when I'm done.
