Jim Hall invented the body kit in 1961 as a way to augment his car’s aerodynamic ability. Aerodynamics is how wind travels your car’s perimeter with minimal exertion. When done properly, your car faces less air resistance and your engine is also cooled down simultaneously. What Hall’s body kit did was force the car downward so that the air resistance will be lessened. Your car’s velocity is improved with the reduced air blockade. This technology aids car owners in performance augmentation and in stylizing the outside for a cool, impressive, unique, look.
