Post Sheetmetal Gauge?

What is the gauge of sheetmetal on a 914?

I have a welder that states it will weld down to 20GA. Will it work?

Thanks

Most likely it will work. The chassis is mostly 18 Gauge.

The exterior is another story. While it may have started out at 18-20 Gauge it may be rusted down to paper thin.

Just JB-Weld all that ;-) KIDDING!

REF:
18 Gauge = 0.040" = 1.024mm
20 Gauge = 0.032" = 0.812mm
