WORTHINGTON A discoloration on the front of the Kustom Body Shop building on Oxford Street is evidence of a now-absent sign, and an empty repair shop marks the end to a long-time Worthington business.

Steen, of rural Round Lake, has sold the building to Brent Peters, who intends to reopen it as a body shop in the near future.
