Default What guage metal for rust repair?

I am going to be fixing the rust on the quarter panels just wanted to know how thick the metal should be. I am repairing the rocker panels and the rear wheel wells. I have the wheel well replacement panels but the rust area is in a spot that the panel doesnt reach.

best sugetion is to find a donor car and cut out the area you need if you cant do that take the panels you have to a supply shop and ask them what gauge it is.

You can find replacement fender well parts online. They are about $30 each.
