Is there a Doctor in the house!!!

My best friend tested mother nature and she won! Big time. He came around a corner and hit some wash boards, hit the gas and drive her right into a very large boulder. That was 2 1/2 years ago. I have since traded my old 1978 Ford 3/4 ton 4X4 straight accross for her. My friend wouldn't even get back into the Blazer after the accedent. She just sat out behind his garage for a year. I finally talked him into the trade. The really troubling part for him was I had just rebuilt the trans, engine, t-case, installed the Tuff Country 4" lift, new exhaust and rebuilt both front and rear drivelines for him including all new ball joints tie rods bearings seals, brakes etc. he had about $3500 in parts all that was left was interior and paint and rubber seals all around. He had only driven it 1 month and wham! Well anyway,I took the Blazer up to the Correctional Facility along with a new front clip I found in my local junk yard from a wrecked 71 Blazer along with thousands of dollars in parts from LMC Truck, Summit Racing etc and had them take the body off the frame remove evrything they could and paint or remove any rust from anything. 1 year 1/2 later I just got it back last summer. I had it fully painted with the Dodge "02" Artic Ice Blue inside and out, man they did a great job. Then the motor which only had maybe 1500 miles went south cause of the wreck. This Thursday, The new motor is going in! I can't wait anymore. I'll post pictures when she's running and all clean.
