Is it true, Greg, that all the work you are doing right now just to get every single piece last pine needle and leaf out?Yeah, I'm a fast learner. Only took me one time doing it wrong....

I still haven't fully learned my lesson, but I at least wear sun glasses now to keep some of the crap out of my eyes.

My first drive in the completed truck is going to be amazing. Not a single speck of dust, dirt or debris. Just perfect sunshine and the wind blowing through my....er, ...... um, scalp.

My current DD is an '04 super duty that was an ex oil field crew truck. Lived its life all off road and prob barely ever got washed. When I got it I had access to a heated pressure washer and wash bay and a front end loader at my old job. I would pick the back of the truck up about 5' by the hitch and wash and wash and wash. I ended up with about 6 hrs total into get all the mud off the bottom of that thing and out of the frame.
I need more HP!
The L05 was the highest horsepower 350 installed in a Blazer.

Here's one suggestion I got so far for you.... it's in Fort Collins but might be worth checking out?
This truck belongs to scoyote and was stripped, repaired and painted there:

Of all colors why would a self respecting Blazer owner call his paint Br*&%co orange???

Looks like I have just a little bit of rust on the top of the passenger side inner fender... the OCD in me says I need to pickup a used fender, probably easier then patching?

I'd disagree....
A couple of points:
1. NOS fenders are always more valuable than reproduction fenders. The stampings are more "crisp" especially around the fenderwell arches, and the metal is thicker.
2. If that fender has factory blue paint on it, you can keep doing your Goo-Gone procedure to reclaim panels with good paint on them and save a fortune in painting costs
3. If that spot is truly rusty, a decent bodyshop can easily patch-in a small repair and do some spot blending of paint to hide the repair.
If you want, you can try using some Oshpo or similar rust removal product on that area to stop it from getting worse, then just leave it for the bodyshop to deal with. I guarantee it will be cheaper and faster to patch that small spot than doing a complete fender swap/shim/alignment/paint.

I had rust in the same spot on the passenger side of my inner cowl. I repaired it while I was doing the engine swap 2 winters ago. It's weld in replacement.
