My bodyshop called and said they painted the Blazer and had the wheels on it. I had to ran over as soon as possible, been waiting monthes to see it in this condition. Interior next. Yes, were in PA, it's not many times n March that it gets to 80 degrees. If it was done I would go topless. I wasn't allowed to close the hood completly.
