Hi Pete, great work so far mate....the chassis frame is immaculate...
One thing has tweaked my interest....What is a 'bent lip' sole blade?
As an aside, the quickest way to prep the reel prior to powder coating is by sand or bead blasting...you just need to get it to the powder coaters quickly before light surface rust sets in...also a light spin grind will be necessary afterwards to restore the cutting edge.
