As some of you may know from what I posted in the WTB section, I wrecked my Blazer. I drove into a telephone pole. It wasn't a good day. So the hood is crimped and angled funny. $500 hood too. The core support is shot. My awesome grille is wrecked. The halo headlights are intact and fine, amazingly enough. The bumper is gone. There are 2 elbows that you bolt the bumper onto that's part of the frame, and one of the elbows is bent. No idea how to fix it.

Basically I am going to go to the junk yard, pull parts to get the blazer back into shape then sell it. I hate to do it, but I want to do it so I can move onto my next project. I will post pictures soon even though I hate to even look at the blazer anymore. Lol.

 

that does suck man. Sorry to hear it. But time to move on to your show truck project!

 

Ah man, that really sucks. Sorry to hear. At least you're alright and thats what counts. I wish i knew someone closer to ya with a blazer for sale but everyone i know is in Arizona. Viva la Craigs list i guess?

 

Update.

I didn't take pictures of the wrecked truck because I couldn't bring myself to. Anyway, I got it fixed and all but I messed up the sub frame (engine cradle frame). Everything shifted like 1/2". So when the hood is closed, it's really tight on one side, with a big gap on the other. The corner of the headlight is flush with the fender on one side, with a gap on the other. There is a tapered gap between the hood and grille. I also bent the bumper bracket (really thick steel that's part of the frame which couldn't be bent back into shape). Anyway, it doesn't look too bad, but still....I don't know. I still need/want to sell it so I am still looking for another....

 

To bad, it's a nice looking truck. You could always get the frame pulled and squared or have a section replaced. It's not a cheap fix though.
