I recognize that Blazer. Any progress on it?

Yeah, the vettes, the K-10, and prostate cancer got in the way of the blazer redo. So far, I've removed the rust-rotted inner LOWER cowl panel and installed a new one, as well as installed a new inner cowl panel (which is the panel between the inner lower and the outer cowl panel). Currently, I've cut and removed all the (3") "body lift" mounts, and the stripped body (no doors, interior, windshield, or tail gate) is suspended over the frame. I now need to scoot the frame out from under the hanging body and attach the body to the rotisserie .... and get back to work...

Sorry to hear of the cancer. Hopefully in remission? Take care Dr. Lee, and get back to the Blazer when you can.

"Sorry to hear of the cancer. Hopefully in remission?" Thanks for your kind words! Prob TMI, but: I had the dang thing (prostate) cut out (robot assisted)...necessary, but wasn't much fun. Will have follow up tests in late June to see if the cancer is all gone.

Meanwhile, here's the Blazer pretty much as it is today:
