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.

If you are going to make any of your own chassis stiffing kits stuff is 16ga. I bought my first kit then I make my own inner longs myself.
