Hamfist.

What material are you using for your rust replacement panel repairs. IE Thickness, and if I was to walk in off the street what do I need to ask for.  Last time i went to the local steel barn they asked me all sorts of questions I did not know the answer too so I walked out again. lol

If I am doing panel  work I use 1mm cold rolled steel mild steel  and 1.2 mm cold rolled mild steel for floor repairs when the whole floor panel is not being replaced .......FC427.....

[HAMFIST]

for structual repairs iam using 1.2 its very easy to get you can ushally get a sizable piece for about 10 buks
