Don't specifically know about this particular car, but generally, 18 gauge is good for this, but if you have alot of contours to shape, you might want to go to 20 gauge. (easier to shape)Don........as long as I have projects to finish I can't die

For sure!! I recall Jim's torsion bar suspension on at least one of his builds, but I'm not sure which one! Maybe the Track T?? He's a talented builder.
