I'm in the process of doing something along these lines. I like the early Neons, and have a 95 as my daily driver. I recently parted out a 97 4dr, and chopped it off just ahead of the B-pillar, and then fabricated a bubble front out of EMT tubing, skinned with salvaged automotive sheetmetal. Not done yet, tho I did take it for a maiden voyage last week, and it towed real fine behind the 95. I took it to the local feed coop, where I unhooked it on the scale and weighed it--820 lbs at this point. (I haven't checked the tongue weight, but it's not too heavy to lift it and wheel it around by myself---tho I wouldn't want to for very long!)
I'll add some more photos to my personal album shortly... FYI. Check for a new post in this forum, too, relative to "neon lite"... if interested.
