Does anyone know what the original metal gauge (thickness) was from Ford for the body panels (doors, fenders, quarters etc)? I need to weld in small flat patch panels and want to use the correct thickness to match. I'm specifically referring to 69-70 model years. Thanks!!

Should I remove the black leather and chrome exterior trim
Vintage Mustang ForumI don’t know if I should remove the black leather and extra trim I’m not sure if this was an extra feature and should I fix the leather if it’s (OEM). Or was it added after it was sold and should I remove it if it’s (aftermarket).- 4
