Joined lil over 6 months ago.

Had/have a 94 blazer that was a work vehicle from 2007 till I rescued out of a parking lot back in May. Didn't move but 3 times from 2009 to May of 2017. Was looking to roll as a winter beater after totally replacing the fuel holding/delivery system, and a few other safety items for stopping. Body is a mess with holes and two compromised body mounts. Rusty doors and rears. But its been on the roads racking up mileage since beginning of August.

Came upon a frame totaled 93 jimmy with 43k. Mint body and interior. Was thinking of frame swapping with my Blazer, but sourcing a solid frame from a salvage yard is my first goto . Frame shop fellow told me straightening what I have would be not a good idea, and the extra work with removing frame twice is not a tea event since I am lacking space and a lift. Body is solid with minor dent on the roof from the a-pillar area going up and in. Frameguy said that could get pulled once on a straight donor frame. Its ***** out from here. Do my best to start a build thread. I'll be perusing the webs of info on this site in the meantime.

Noticed you were online lately and seen the pics of the jimmy... is she still on the road?

Wondering about the long term of the rebuild...
