Floor vs Body Panels

Post by SPLutah »

Are the floor panels in the roadster also 20 gauge like the body panels or are they more substantial? Looking to repair/replace the main trunk floor and not at my car to double check before I swing by the metal store near work.

The only part that I found in my '67 that was heavier is the vertical piece that the rocker panels and the floor panels are welded to.
