I just did mine and used 16 gauge. It is really and easier to weld on than the thinner stuff. My Wag now sounds really solid when slamming the doors.

Luckily I had a friend who was able to cut the panel to shape and all I had to do was bend it and drill holes. It took some time, but I think it came out ok. Not great, but not bad for a first timer.

It really sounds weird to start the engine, it is soooo quiet with metal between me and the starter. Although now I noticed that the muffler is tapping against the frame. I gotta fix that this weekend because it is one of the last major noises.

sandmanb,
I had similar problem on my 87 gw. Fortunately my repair area was small and I used 22 ga. sheet metal, rust-proofed it with POR-15 then some fiberglas over top. For a larger area use a heavier gauge steel,16-18 ga.,if you can weld it, great! Use some thin aluminium sheet metal to form a pattern that can be used to more easily form and shape the steel sheet metal outside of the vehicle before you weld it on.Then use POR-15 to treat the top and bottom to stop any future rust for good.
Carry on,
