hilow,
they used .75mm for fenders and similar chassis parts and 1mm for those parts which need additional strenght like longitudinals, etc . In those cases where as well 1 mm was not sufficient, 2 or 3 layers of metall were used. benno |

The headlight lids are 18 to 19 gauge. I'd be willing to bet most of the skin is the same.
