GENERAL DESCRIPTION
. A structural network of steel forms the backbone of the
Corvette body. When combined with the fiber-glass re-
inforced plastic body panels, the steel-plastic marriage
results in a body with increased torsional rigidity and
greater beaming strength.
Convertible models continue with two roof styles: the
folding top and the removable hardtop. In operation, both
tops function similar to those of previous models. Either
top is standard and both are optional as determined by
the top selected as base equipment.

Hood
The position of the hood in relation to the hood body
opening and the fender surfaces is controlled by the posi-
tion of the hinges and position and adjustment of catch
and bumpers.
