Subject: [Spridgets] Metal thickness??

Preparing to patch holes in midget and it seems the metal on the wings is thinner than the floor and A pillar. This would make sense but what are the metal thicknesses? The small patches I need to make don’t really require patch panels and I think I could use steel from Home Depot but don’t know what thickness to get. 

Thoughts ?  Information?

Ryan,

I use 18 ga in the floors and rockers, and 20 ga for the balance of the
car.  You want to match the steel you are welding into the car with the
steel that you are welding it into.

If you have old/used fenders or other body parts you are discarding, you
can cut metal out of them to patch the areas you need to patch.

How much steel do you need?
