ABSTRACT:
An automotive vehicle can be built to include a one piece plastic outer body and a metal support frame underlying the outer body. The outer body is preferably formed by a blow molding process or rotational casting process, so that the body has integral hollow double wall sections that are relatively strong and resistant to bending or twisting forces. The plastic body can include various built-in features, e.g. an integral self-contained fuel tank formed by the molding process. The metal support frame is preferably made up of longitudinal and transverse tubular frame elements. Support pads are provided at selected points on the frame for connecting the plastic body to the frame.
