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.
