Please help? I would like to know what's the correct gage metal on the roof of my 1968 mustang?

 

What gage metal is the roof of a 1968 mustang?

 

i kind of doubt anyone can tell you a most of us had never cut into a roof .. i tried to goolge an answer for you but to no avail .. i cant imagine it to be any thicker than most other panels on the car .. i will try and get some thickness measurements on my 69 when i get home today ..

 

The only way to safely know in my opinion is to start your work you need to do once you get it cult into use a set of calipers to find out the thickness you need.

 

you fixing an old bad sunroof job or something ?

 

Yep unfortunately j am

 

everything i measured on my stang averaged about .040 .. i dont know what guage that would be .. if i were doing this i would go to my local savlage yard and try to find some ford vehicle of about the same vintage and get some metal from it .. like maybe a piece of roof from a big ltd or perhaps a truck ..

 

Thanks man, I got the correct gage and have that ugly sun roof covered

 

Also thanks for the advice fellow mustang enthusiast.
