The Auto Body:
Major Body Parts
Bumper
Traditionally bumpers were made of steel or aluminum and simply bolted to the frame. The sturdy design was designed primarily to protect the automobile from damage, with less emphasis on protecting passengers. But in the early 1970s bumper technology began to evolve to include new designs and materials with an increased focus on providing more protection for passengers. Modern bumpers are made of impact-absorbing hard plastic.
Fender
The fender is found at the front of the vehicle, located to the left and right of the hood.
Quarter Panel
A part of a vehicle's autobody, quarter panels extends from the door to the rear bumper on either side and typically consitutes one-quarter of the total length of a vehicle.
