Good luck. I know jobs are hard to come by nowadays. I look forward to following your progress on it here.

awww man. That look wicked. The olds didn't seem to have nearly as much damage done to it. Glad everyones alright.. now you have to join the workforce and get that blazer fixed. Make sure you re-do the brakelines and pads all around. Don't need that happening again. BTW, did you try your e-brake to slow down? I heard it can work in most cases, never tried it myself.

Test the e-brake as well and replace as necessary. If there is a next time, you might not be so lucky.
