Project Tweaked - 2wd Blazer build

Well, this thread has been a long time coming. I'm not real good at taking pictures while working on the truck, but I'm going to get better.

Little did I know when I bought her that she was damaged goods. She took a shot to the right front wheel that was hard enough to bend the frame, hence the name "Tweaked". While trying to install the new core support and align the fenders I realized nothing was lining up correctly. A few minutes of carefully studying the situation revealed the problem. Nothing a couple of hours on a frame machine couldn't correct.

Now that the frame is straight and the front sheet metal is fairly well aligned it is off to the paint shop. I am actually 15 minutes from leaving to take her to get painted and I'm still now sure what I'm going to do. Repaint original two tone or change to a darker shade of solid blue.

Stay tuned to see what I finally decide!

Here are a couple of pics. The first is what I started with. The rest are where she sits waiting to ride to the body shop.
