Metal thinkness


Recommended Posts

Just wondering how think (guage) the metal for the frame, floor boards, and body panels are on ea81 cars. I'm about to undertake what some say is futile, but I don't care. If you have the info or even an educated guess please post it up. I DO NOT want all the junk it and get another BS.

 

Thanks.

Haven't actually measured for gauge, but I'm thinking, just from cutting up a couple vehicles,

 

Body skin = 20 gauge

 

Floorpan and frame rails = 18 gauge

 

Some areas of the framerails are multiple-layered, mainly between engine x-member and tranny x-member.

 

Tranny tunnel is double-layered at the forward section
