What gauge sheet metal?

Postby ROB » Thu Nov 01, 2012 3:26 pm

I need to fix some rust spots. What gauge sheet metal was used on the hood, doors, and fenders?

The stuff on the Vegas are more like 20 to 22 gauge metal.
I used 18 on the repairs for the wagon and made it flush with the outside surface. It's more to the thickness of the 60's cars and will last longer.
