Blazer Project - Quarter fender alignment

[Huck]

Even with good inner and outer rockers, getting a blazer lined up is no piece of cake. It is a lot easier if one has the top on but without the rear quarter in place--that is not possible. I had similar problem with a perfect rust free tub I bought from a board member---the pas rear quarter was assembled incorrectly (inner and outer, b-pillar, etc.)
You really need to kind of bolt together the floor, rear quarter (squared!)and have the front floor---firewall and front clip in place with the door hung on and properly aligned with the front fender. With all this stuff hanging in some reasonable aligment with the same dimesions with the driver side, you can start to replace the inner rocker/torque box then the outer rockers. I would put the hardtop on before I tightened it up and did any significant welding (other then some spot welds). You really want you door aligment perfect with proper frame to body bushings and shims before you attempt to lock everything in place.
Trucks are a piece of cake compared to sagging blazers with rusted out B pillars, inner torque boxes, and sagging firewalls!! Good luck~~huck
