steel body

Alloy-forged frame

Steel body refers to a vehicle body constructed primarily from steel rather than aluminum, fiberglass, or carbon fiber.

The term appears most often in automotive contexts where body material matters—classic car restoration, racing, or discussions of weight and durability: It's got a real steel body, not a fiberglass replica.

Steel body can also describe physical conditioning, suggesting muscles hardened like metal.
