Does a "full-bodied car" refer to a "stock car"?

Last weekend, I just came back from Indianapolis 500, which is not a NASCAR race. It is an open-wheel style car. NASCAR is a full-bodied car. But I've done both over the years.

And what does "done" mean in the context?

Thank you.
 
Did you consider using Google first? I just Googled "full-bodied car" and got plenty of useful hits. Here's one of them.
It's not completely clear but I would assume "done" means "watched" or "driven" depending on whether the writer went to the Indianapolis 500 as a participant or a spectator.

On the left is an Indy car. On the right is a NASCAR car.

You can see that the NASCAR car has a body that resembles an actual car that you could buy in any dealership.

To me it suggests neither a driver nor a spectator, but a mechanic, tire fitter, painter, etc - someone who does cars in some way.
