i had to cut a hole in my trunk floor of my 80 coupe... what gauge metal are these cars made from? lol that metal bent reallllll easy! i had a "dent" in the pass floorboard too and i pushed it back in place with a floor jack and block of wood. i moved real easy too. i hope my 6pt and chassis foam work!!! lol

I used 20 gauge on the floor in my car. It's probably right around that.

It's pretty thin. It make welding it pretty tough too. I've been adding 16 gauge as I go. It stands up to welding a bit better.
