3/16"?? Good grief, what are you making? A battleship?



If you can't find 'em, you'll have to make 'em, but I would use 18 ga. steel. I think that's 0.040", or a little less than 3/64".

i was thinking of using 3/16 inch steel cause the stock floors have have those indents and humps for strength. i was making up for it with thicker metal...



you really think 3/16 is wayt to thick? i am 200lbs. are you experienced in this?

Well, I did just weld some new pans in my '66 Chevy II. They are readily available, and are about the same thickness as original, which is around 18 ga.



Once the new pan is securely welded to the surrounding metal, you'll find that it's plenty strong.



If you can cut and shape the 3/16, then use it. The only disadvantage would be weight.

sen2two

yeah...i dont want to add any weight.



im gonna try 18ga steel. they sell that at home depot/lowes?
