Got out in the shop this weekend! My main hoop and front down bars are done finally.It took a lot of learning to get the front down bars how I wanted them but they are all tacked in.
Had to put a 25 degree twist in the down bar to fit the windshield pillar and roof how I wanted it.

Since all the shut downs and in between jobs I have had plenty of time to work on the house, yard, and Blazer. Almost done with the cage finally! It was a lot of learning but think it is turning out great and can't wait to get started on the bodywork!

Still have some more bracing to do but think one more full day can have the cage and frame done and start squaring the body back up and make some mounting points to hold it strong to the frame. I haven't done anymore bodywork because I was wanting to get the chassis done to make sure all was good on the location of the tires to the fenders and quarters. Tomorrow is my last day with the company I have been with for 18 years so going into the unknown and with this shut down might not be working for a while. If that's the case I will be doing a ton of bodywork on the Blazer, but would rather be working and making money.

Sorry to hear you won't be working with that company anymore , obviously they can't see what they are losing !!
Hopefully there is another company that won't take 18 yrs. to realize how much you have to offer !!!

Not Blazer related but had to share a picture. Probably the most stress I have had to deal with in years with my whole life and career on my trailer. I am now officially jobless until this virus crap is over.

Thank you! I am going to take advantage of my time off and try to get a lot of work done on my house and Blazer. 
Trying to get my chassis and cage done today and tomorrow so I can get the suspension dialed in and start cutting on the quarter panels and widen them.
