.In answer to your question about material thickness, most bodies like that would have been made from 16g ally. Race cars may have been made from 18G or even 19g. Some road going bodies were made from 18g but it is harder to work in the thinner materials so I suggest you use 16g.

.Thanks for the good advice, is the ally a 5052? or somthing else. And what is a good compatible filler rod? Thanks, Ray
