I have a 1969 fan with the door aluminum having holes and frame rotten. So I'm trying to get info on where to get the aluminum and if you would use .040 like the skin?

Hi, From a vintage trailer guy located in Santa Ana, CA. It's good to see lots of activity here.

.040" is OK, as long as it's soft aluminum, but no thicker because you are going to have to bend it for the edges. Most RV aluminum is .028" to .035" thick.
The hard part might be locating an eight foot brake to make your bends.
