2–2 PREPARATIONS OF BODYWORK
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
• Most monocoque bodies are composed as a single
unit by welding together pressed parts made of steel
plates which come in a variety of different shapes
and sizes. Each part is responsible for displaying a
certain strength and durability in order that it may
play its role in meeting the functions of the body as
a whole.
Damage to the exterior of the body can be inspected
visually, but where there has been an external impact,
it is necessary to inspect the extent of the damage. In
some cases, the deformation has spread beyond the
actual areas which were in the collision and so this has
to be inspected closely.
