If anyone has ever took a wild guess at sheet metal thickness, Eastwoods ebay store sale has a nice gauge tool on sale for $9.99 with FREE shipping. That's half the price of one from their store.
MODS, if this should be somewhere else move or delete it http://www.ebay.com/itm/Eastwood-Auto-Body-Fabrication-Sheet-Metal-Thickness-Gauge-/360460578716 |

18 gage is the standard for auto sheet metal.
Years ago, an old sheet metal worker told me, "the easist way to remember what thickness 16 gage is....just think of 1/16"(.0625") of an inch=16 gage" and 18 gage is slightly thinner. I never forgot that......I guess that's my trivia for today
