Title: Sheet metal question Post by: customFC on November 12, 2024, 11:42:14 PM Hello brains trust.
Needing to source some sheet metal to do rust repairs. Not sure type and gauge that I would need. I would appreciate any advice, best place in Sydney to source what I need would also help.

Regards Alex Hi Alex, It depends on what you are trying to repair. For panels I tend to use what I can get for free from cars being scrapped. Roofs are a good get as they have a large surface area and complex curves so you can sometimes cut a section to fit with minimal work.
