Too Afraid to Ask

Body swap means putting the outside of one car onto the frame and engine of another. It lets people change how a car looks while keeping its power.

Technical Definition

A body swap involves taking the exterior shell of one vehicle and mounting it onto a different chassis or drivetrain. This is common in custom builds to combine performance with a desired look.
