What is the thickest guage steel used on our cars? I'm about to purchase a "nibbler" to do some cutting and they come in three flavors: 14ga., 16ga. & 18ga. I could just go ahead and purchase the largest (14ga.), but the price goes way up with each tool. So...gotta buy only what I need.

I know that it varies from part to part, but I think that most are 20 ga., with some 18 ga. thrown in for a few parts. Multiple thicknesses in a few areas that the engineers felt needed more strength.
