I just did the same thing recently for a friends 69 Catalina. I used 20 gauge from a sheet. I don't recall if measuring the original metal but it sure felt the same. Those panels had a fair bit of padding between the vinyl and the steel anyhow. You could even get away with just tacking the patches from the inside but I flush welded them just out of principal.
btw, the repop covers fit well but the vinyl is too thin and too smooth of a grain. Not really noticeable but it bothered me.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
