oldschoolbasser Posted July 4, 2008 Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 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.

captsully18 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 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.........

oldschoolbasser Posted July 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 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.
