Re: 704z rebuild.
handyman, very nice. i gotta get the bailess kit so i can finish mine. power knob really makes it look good. greenie is top shelf also. handyman what does it cost for the powdercoat? ever get one anodized? i was thinking about getting the body of mine anodized blue or gold.

Would you mind letting us know who does the stripping, coating, parts etc. ? Or is this all you, either way its beautiful. I can see that in my future.

hey night tides....i stripped the greenie...but the black 704 was previously powdercoated.......both reels got blasted, prebaked and then cleaned....and both were powdercoated....at two differant shops. thanks for the positive feedback

Re: 704z rebuild.
stilltryin let me know what you need. remodeling my bathroom now so it will be a few weeks before i can do any polishing. sandblasting is easy i do that at work. i know what you mean i went crazy with the drill on mine. putting holes in stuff is fun.
