cleared and drying! the white pearl came out very bright, the clear really makes it pop and it will sparkle under the sunlight! the frame and left sideplate are underneath colored covers so i can't take a pic just yet, need to keep the dust away.

the frame had a flaw that must have landed during the very last pass with the airbrush before i set it down, sometimes that just happens, so i have it prepped and ready for the final touch up. other than that spot on the top right side near the spool area, it is flawless.

I'm in the same situation because I've got a few old Fuego's that need some new gears and other tuning work that I have been putting off forever. I was working part-time and tuning reels at a tackle shop twenty-three years ago when I was in college. Now, it's my kids that take all of my time. :crying:
