While I'm really not sure how VW measures sheet metal thickness (I 
doubt that they use AWG), most everything on our cars runs from .020 
to .080 in thickness.  Pretty thin stuff as welders go.

As an aside, has anyone else noticed that the 73s used thinner metal 
than the earlier ones?  I noticed this particularly on the hood.
