    I am currently buiding a floor pan for a 32 ford coupe. I'm wondering what would be the best workable gauge sheet metal for this project? I tried using 16ga. but it seems to be unbedable with the tools I have.

    18ga is what i use but it has to have bead rolls for strength.

    X2 and X2 18ga is a little to flexable if you leave it smooth
