Race Neon gets some body work....
New-used fender, front bumper, and hood were from a car I parted out this winter, the door came from another Neon Challenge car that I had in inventory.
The car is being worked on at Maaco Minneapolis.
The holes in the roof from the lights (from it's days as the pace car for the Celebrity Challenge Car, are being welded up.

"Sins of a previous racer"...., I am sure there was some good stories burried under all that bondo. Mark and I spent a very long time getting the body more straight.
