Default Quarter Panel Antenna?

Im patching the hole and trying to get the thickness of the quarter panel to patch it up. Anyone have the thickness of the rear quarter on a 2000 Trans Am? Couldn't get my caliper to fit in the hole to get it.

Just a quick guess, I would say between .060 and .080.

Typical exhaust tubing is .083 thick and I think the body is just slightly thinner.

Thanks. Will see if I can find some small pieces in this measurement and give it a shot. Thanks again

15 gauge sheet steel is .067 and 14 gauge is .075 just for reference when you go to buy.
