5. The body of claim 4 , wherein a length of the internal plate of the front portion is preset longer than a length of the external plate.
6. The body of claim 1 , wherein the internal bracket is coupled to an internal portion of an internal plate of the front portion of the base frame and the external bracket is coupled to an external portion of an external plate of the front portion of the base frame.
7. The body of claim 2 , wherein the rear portion of the base frame includes a C pillar extending toward a roof of the vehicle and the lower portion includes a B pillar extending toward the roof, and
rear end portions of the base part and the tubular part are connected to the C pillar, and middle portions of the base part and the tubular part are connected to the B pillar.
8. The body of claim 7 , further including:
a B pillar bracket connected to the tubular part to connect the tubular part to an external plate of the B pillar,
wherein the base part is connected to an internal plate of the B pillar.
9. The body of claim 8 , wherein the base part is connected to an external portion of the internal plate of the B pillar and the B pillar bracket is connected to an external portion of the external plate of the B pillar.
10. The body of claim 8 ,
wherein the flange portion is shaped in a flange,
wherein the flange portion includes an upper flange connected to an upper portion of the base part connected to the internal plate of the B pillar and extending outward the vehicle and a lower flange connected to a lower portion of the base part and extending outward the vehicle, and
wherein the tubular part is accommodated between the upper flange and the lower flange and is coupled to the base part.
11. The body of claim 8 ,
wherein an end portion of the B pillar is bent inwardly from the vehicle and the internal plate of the B pillar is formed longer than the external plate of the B pillar.
12. The body of claim 7 , wherein the base part is connected to an external plate of the C pillar and the external garnish is connected to a lower end portion of the external plate of the C pillar.
