What does a body do?
The question makes me sound like an idiot, but I ask in more technical terms.
What does a body do, what is it's purpose?
The reasons I come up with are cosmetic purposes, protect passengers and the mechanics of a car from the environment, and for aerodynamics at high speeds.
Some cars do have monocoques which are the actual chassis of the car, but I am asking from the perspective of a tube frame chassis or traditional truck chassis.
So what else does a body do? What is it designed for? What are its uses?
