Re: [Chrysler300] sheetmetal thickness - '57

[ronbo97@xxxx]

Hi Wayne, Michael, others -

Best I can determine from measuring my 58 Plymouth and 
59 Dodge conv. sheetmetal, is that inner/outer body 
sheetmetal is 20ga. However, on convertibles, the rocker 
panel area, door sill and inner rocker, all of which 
extend underneath the quarter skin to the rear wheel 
well opening, are 12ga., the same thickness as the frame 
rails. I would think that this is true of the entire 
line, 57 thru 59.
