    Hey fellers,
    Wondering if someone could tell me what size/guage sheet metal I need to buy to patch some side panels on the old jeep. Any help would be appreciated.

    The stuff I bought that was preformed panels was about 20gauge. Personally I would have used 16 for the lower rockers since it is a little tougher.

    I used a sheet of 18 ga. mild steel. ($43 for a 4X8 sheet at my local steel supplier). Worked great and was the same gauge as the original. Dave
