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!!

You've ask an interesting question, one that I have ask myself many times. Apparently no one knows the answer.

'67 Coupe project car (Did I say project car? I meant pile of rust)

It's kinda thin, but not THAT thin. eheh, I have no idea... although I'm bringing a chunk into work tomorrow to find out... perhaps someone has a gauge there. I'm patching too

Great question.. I've measured some of the areas I could get at with the micrometer and come up with different readings for the hood, fenders, trunk lid and quarters.
