There are many types of "HSLA" (high strength low alloy) steels used in Automobiles today. Some of these suck to drill and tap, some do not weld as easily as you would expect. These are actually engineered for a specific part and purpose. I just use 1008, 1006 mild steel for all of my projects.

I found that G2 galvanised sheet metal http://www.onesteelmetalcentre.com/p...coil/galvabond is the same as the Zincanneal that I was after originally.
The Galvanised has different gal coating. Welding is a bit of an issue since the fumes are bad but good ventilation and mask can solve that, also the surface would need high fill primer before painting as the coating has natural ripples in it (Slightly) Other than that same as G2 or G3 in Zincanneal but more available and in bigger sheets so if you wanted to make a whole roof panel it can be done without joining two pieces. Similar characteristics as Zincanneal http://www.bluescopesteel.com.au/fil...ND_G2_G2S_.PDF http://www.bluescopesteel.com.au/fil...ANNEAL_G2S.PDF

I wasn't sure where else to post this so here it goes
This is a panel I made last week, almost done, not finished yet And I want to thank everyone who helped and advised me. Also saw this, good old Peter in the US! They used 3M body filler to make a die, I was wondering if the reinforced 3M body filler would be better? http://www.trifivechevys.com/showthr...-MP-amp-C-Shop
