Roof replacement
I looked at a Blazer awhile back that had the same problem as yours. Guy specialized in Salvage vehicles on the side, and runs a body shop. He claims his body man cuts the pillars down near the cowl with a sawsall, and welds the new one (roof w/pillars) on. If you take real good measurements, and weld good, it is possible. You should have a windshield handy too, to check the fit! Go slow, don't be in a hurry. Too small an opening and your going to start all over again. If that scares you, a porta-power will get you back in the ballpark, just take your time and check everything as you go along. You just want to put it back in place not over stretch the metal. Try not to have to use a torch for heat useless it absolutely necessary and you know what your doing.Once its real close, it hammer and dolly time, and metal finish. But it is definitely repairable.
Check up on the Paint forum, there might be some other suggestions.
