  • Body / Glass: Sheet metal thickness

    What gauge sheet metal did Stude use for their bodies? '63GT Hawk trunk floor to be specific. I am replacing the floor with the pieces from classic enterprises and their sheet metal seems to be thicker.

    18 Ga. or .0478"

      Classic Enterprises makes their trunk floor replacement panels from 18 gauge, I therefore must surmise the original floor gauge was something less than that as I too noticed when doing two trunk replacements that the new metal seemed thicker.
