Abstract: The vehicle body comprises a stiff inner shell to which are affixed one or more layers of panels with overlapping edges. The inside face of each panel is of impact-resistant material. The outer face is any relatively thin material stiff enough to present a smooth surface and capable of being painted. The space between inner and outer faces is filled with any lightweight crush-resistant material preferably corrugated cardboard. In the event of damage to the cardboard, individual panels can be removed and replaced.
