Preston, I can't tell you specifically because I've never actually done a wire edge on a real car...like a Model A. That said, on the samples I've done and the demos I've seen, the smallest wire was about 1/8th (.125). I believe sometimes the wire was even larger. Welding rod should work if it's long enough I'd think. You wouldn't want to have a break in the wire in the middle of the edge. But again, no first hand knowledge.
