I am curious how can you gauge the thickness of sheetmetal? Also any idea what gauge would be used for the skin of the hood? 65 Barracuda?

Eastwood sells the gauge tool. Less the ten bucks.

The exterior skins: hoods, roofs, trunk lids etc.. are 20 guage which = 0.036" . The inner structures of hoods, trunks, doors are a little thicker usually 19 guage which is 0.041" . You can measure sheetmetal thickness with a caliper or micrometer if you have one or buy the eastwood tool.
