Prior to starting paint and body, I went around the car with a paint thickness gauge. I was expecting the worse because when I checked the quarter panels, the gauge read 55 mils, the doors read 50 mils and the fenders read around 40 mils. I know the car had lower quarter panels replaced because you were able to see the seam from inside the trunk. I hid the seams with a skim of bondo when we replaced the trunk pans a few years ago.
