Your not kidding about the body
thickness. I have a 99 Dodge Caravan,
and stepped on a hose that caused my
ankle to roll under me. I was between
two fairly closely spaced cars and
tipped into the Caravan. There are two
dents where my elbow stopped my sideways
motion. Since then I have noticed a
number of similar dents on other
Dodge/Chrysler mini-vans. It takes very
little to dent them, and it takes a lot
of money to straighten them out again.
Mandatory Datsun content:
It is finally raining in Portland and I
am getting started on removing the doors
and fenders. New fenders going on over
the winter, and rust going away.

Subject: RE: Chassis Thickness
The chassis proper is in the order of
2mm thick, the body is 1mm
thick.
By todays standards, that is a tough
little body shell!

Does anyone know the largest metal
thickness on the Roadster? This is
for welding reference.
Thank you!
