Also if you are going to do body work on a blazer - you need to follow a few steps:

1. Don't take the top off until after the body work is done
2. Replace the Body Mounts if they are rotted/gone prior to starting
3. Brace up the door openings (and take measurements) to make sure the firewall doesn't sag if the body is weak when you start cutting out metal.
I started working on mine last weekend and so far I have managed to NOT do everything you suggested. Guess this ought to make for an interesting project. I am not as concerned since it will never see a top again, but it is going to be a problem nonetheless.
