      on the frame rack getting the body and frame pulled.
      the left front corner of the roof has come down quite a bit, he said once he does a final pull it should bring it back down completely where it should be.
      And yes, this frame rack is an old one. it was done on it due to insurance work being on their newer racks......low budget operation here....lol !

      i am still have to remove and replace the left door opening frame and left rear quarter, apparently it had been wrecked one other time before this one.....the left quarter is full of bondo.
      me and bondo do not get along.

      test fitting body panels to make sure the frame is correctly centered under the blazer.
      drop spindles and coils are installed.....now i just have to get the rear drop kit installed.

      got a 4th xtreme wheel off ebay and got a new tire mounted on and put on the blazer, also picked up a set of 3 inch drop blocks and put them on today also.
      rolled it outside to get a better overall look at it.

      so far, including the blazer purchase price.....i roughly have $2500 in it.
      my plans are to keep it and try alot of different mods on it.....kind of my creative canvas.
      possible ideas i have had floating around in my head.
      1. suicide doors
      2. complete air ride
      3. 22's all around
      4. 2 tone paint

      door frame completely welded back in place.
      the rear quarter is 1/2 way welded back in, the side windows are just taped in place to check alignment of everything.

      Taping it up and getting ready to spray etching primer on it.
      then seam seal every crack and crevice and also fix any small dings, then it will be time for the high build urethane primer coat.





      etch primed and seam sealed.

      i picked up my new GM door and got it mounted, and also mounted up the hood and fender.
      always test fitting, can never be too sure about fitment.....gotta make sure it's right before the painting starts.
      also starting to cut off the rear bumpstop brackets to ready the rear frame for the suicidedoors.com frame notches, which can be seen beside the rear wheel on the floor.

      it is now running again, hopefully i can get back to it soon. i know i will definetly be back on it during my 1.5 week shutdown for xmas and new years.
      i want this in atleast primer, if not paint by the new year.
      well since my 20's are off my daily for the winter, i thought i'd throw them on the project.
      it's gotten me motivated again.
      backed it out of garage under it's own power !

      Nice work. But I still think you have some serious issues. Talk about a motivated fool. Damn.... Can't wait to see how you finish this one up.
