as some of you saw in my welcome thread, i got into an accident a couple days after getting my blazer. i've been doing all the work myself sans my dad helping me. so far i've pretty much put her all back together. i'm going to fab up a bumper though and still need to mount the headlights. and the hood needs a little more straightening as you can sort of tell from the pictures. and yup that's a 1 piece grill from a 91-94 blazer. it wasn't an exact fit but we got it to work. still having trouble mounting the headlights.

i finished the bumper, sorry i haven't been posting pics. the headlight drop brackets worker good, the grill looks good, and the bumper looks... alright. lol. still needs all the cuts finished up welded, ground down, and painted. but i needed to throw it up on there to pass safety. it barely passed emissions here in utah, so i think this is going to turn into an offroad toy when i move back to california. it actually failed the first time then the guy tinkered with it and got it to pass. now it has developed an engine issue. i'll have to wait to fix that. for now it sits :/
