The body shell is a fairly complex assortment of large steel sections. These
sections have been stamped into specific shapes which make up the body of your car.
These parts are designed to do many jobs at once; protect the occupants from the
elements and in collisions, provide solid mounts for all other systems, and to slice
through the air with minimal resistance. The body also has one other job which is
usually important to the owner... it has to look good!
Although the zillions of parts that make up a car are all very important, it is also
important that the car's body be able to make riding in a car bearable for you. Early
cars were so uncomfortable to ride in. The body and the suspension system now give
us a smooth ride, and cushion us from the jarring of the road. The idea is that the
body of the car should go forward with as little up-and-down and side-to-side
movement as possible.
Frame (Chassis) The frame provides a firm structure for the body, as well a
good anchor point for the suspension system. There are two types of frames; integral
frames or unibody and conventional frames.
A conventional frame is basically a «one-piece» frame, or two «one-piece»
frames fastened together. The frame is extremely rigid in order to keep all the other
parts of the car in perfect alignment. The manufacturer takes this type of frame and
attaches all the other parts of the car to it, like the way a sculptor starts with a wire
frame to build his sculpture on and give it shape. To keep things smooth, rubber
insulator blocks, or «pads» are placed between the frame and the other car parts.
Because the conventional frame is so important to the structure of your car, (without
it, your car would be a pile of doors, hoses, seats, wires and metal) it is usually
constructed of heavy steel and welded or cold riveted together. Cold riveting keeps
the rivets from shrinking.
The integral, or unibody, frame is just the opposite. With this type of frame, the
body parts are used to structurally strengthen the entire car, and all of the sections are
welded into one piece. Sometimes the parts of the body and the suspension system
are attached and reinforced. Also, some unibody frames have partial front and rear
frames for attaching the engine and suspension members.
Hood. The car's hood is another type of door. It also consists of an inner and an
outer panel. The inner panel provides strength. The outer panel is just a metal cover,
or «skin». The underside of the hood is often covered with a sound-absorbing
material. Some high performance cars have openings in the hood to allow the engine
to «breathe» easier. «Hood scoops» are used to channel outside air directly to the air
filter, which gives improved performance and efficiency.
Trunk Lid. The trunk lid is another type of door. It consists of an inner and an
outer panel. The inner panel provides strength. The outer panel is just a metal cover,
or «skin».
