Gary,
As to the gauge of steel, I took a piece of my front wing to my local  
industrial supplier and was assured that it was 18 gauge.  I had an  
unfortunate 
surprise that a rather large area of both front wings needed to be  replaced.  
I 
knew there was some but in the end it was larger than the  "patch pieces" the 
big 3 sell would handle.  I used 18.  Having said  all that, if you are 
repairing much smaller areas, 20 is much easier to work and  for smaller areas 
that's what I did.
