Or are you talking about the shock towers in the rear of the car? Strut tower is 16 gauge.

teebluestang Member Jan 30, 2016 57 3 8 Sewell N.J Sep 23, 2018 #6 Sep 23, 2018 #6 I'm wondering if I should have someone cut out good shock towers from their parts car. Or just weld in new metal .. if welding new metal what gauge would it be ? Front towers are shot

I replaced my entire right side frame rail and used a sheet of 16 gauge steal for the shock tower repair. The frame rail is 14 gauge. This is the kit I used. https://lmr.com/item/LRS-FRRN881/1979-93-Mustang-RH-Smooth-Frame-Rail Reactions: teebluestang
