I'm not familiar with 66 Chevelles but the 69's I work on have 20 gauge steel in most places (i.e fenders, doors, quarters, trunk). I can't believe any 64-72 Chevelles have 16 gauge sheet on the exterior.

IIRC, the sheet metal is 16 gauge.
Be very careful of your heat on your sheet metal, lest you warp it.

Hi Everyone...
I have just bought a welder and am slowly learning the art of welding...I was wondering if anyone can tell me the gauge of the sheet metal used on fenders and quarter panels on our cars..1966 in particular but I am sure they are mostly the same in the 64-72 range....Maybe I am wrong..
Thanx very much..
John
