Is there a source book for the various guage of sheetmetal used in the 914's. I am curious about the thickness of the longs, firewall, seat pans and fenders.

I have a body shop not far away and they will give me bent fenders and hoods. and I was wondering how this metal will stack up against the 914's. For example, the "x" member under a hood is fairly substantial and I was wondering if that could be used to patch a hole in the lower firewall.
