Do you mean what is being done that will take 3-400 hours?

Strip to bare metal, everything.

repair top of both quarters where they welded a cap on.

fix dent on lower driver quarter.

Fix holes on drivers quarter in front of wheels.

Install inner and outer rockers and kick panels on both passenger and drivers side along with 2-4" of the floor where it meets the rocker panels.

Install NOS truck door. Cut down to fit Blazer. Weld reinforcement plate to NOS door.

Install NOS tailgate.

Repair passenger door (been looking for a good or NOS passenger door with no luck). Might end up using reproduction.

Weld in radio patch panel where previous owner cut for radio.

Looking into a 1968 front clip. If I find one (I might have) swap my front clip for the 1968 front clip.

Align all gaps and prepare for paint. This guy uses less than a pint of filler on most vehicles. He truly is an old school craftsman.

Paint then reinstall AC and door components, lights, and grill.

I plan on finishing interior myself or later. I have enough put aside in case it goes to 500 hours. I hope it does not!
