1998 probuction sheet

This is how I figured out my car is One of a possible 22 NBM Formula M6 Hardtop's. I did percentages based off of these numbers.

you dont get much more structural integrity with a hard top... its still the same basic design on the top where the t-tops are (all cars actually start out as t-tops) only difference is where we get cool pop out pieces of glass, you get a thin sheet of aluminum. not really seeing where this stops flex ![Icon Confused](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies2/icon_confused.gif)

In fact there is controversy about the use of SFC in t-tops 4th gen models. Third gens is another story.

im not saying it was correct, cuz i have no idea, but i remember a thread months ago where a few people, with quite a few posts so they could be credible sources, saying that ALL f bodies started out as t top cars. i only know of 1 person with a hard top car and thats a girl with a '00 v6 camaro and her roof has the t top indents. anyone prove/disprove this? i have no idea either way. (forgive the ignorance)

Its all the same pretty much. Hardtops get small aluminum bars on the sides where the TTops go.
