My 1996 Blazer Rebuild... 56k Beware...
 

Well I got my Blazer about 2 Years ago and I really have put this thing through hell and back. 3 months after I got it the engine blew, not my fault had a bad rod. After that I clipped a pole after leaving a ex girlfriends house and then A few months back I hit a deer and that really screwed up the front end. Ended up fixing the original Core Support I am using the original damaged bumper until I can modify one out of a old semi bumper I have. Going to buy a Brush guard off of JC whitney and Beef it up some, add a body lift in time. Now for the pics... Theres a good amount of them. The fender i bought it too jacked up to use so until i get a new fender the grille will have to stay off, which isn't a bad thing. Gives me more time to paint it...

Painted the Grille Up today, matching Green as the Blazer. Went to the car wash and gave the blazer a quick bath.

Saw a Blazer on Craigslist that had the grille painted to match the body and it looked pretty sharp...

Here's a test fit with the grille with the new paint job...

Wow that was a lot of work, but it looks awsome. That probably makes it all worth it.

Worked on the blazer today and yesterday, Put my new Grille and Brush Guard on yesterday and painted on my fender today, gotta wait 24 hours before buffing it. Here are a few pictures. Mounted up my lights again and this is the result.
