How thick is the metal in the trunk? What gauge?

I am looking to find out what gauge the metal is on the floor of the trunk. I am going to be doing the Fuel pump access panel mod to my car and was hping to use a set of air shears. Also I would like to buy a new piece of steel of the same gauge to cover the hole.

Thanks for the help.
