3/16" for a bellypan would be a bit overkill..

Also a 1/8" sheet of 7075 would be quite expensive (well maybe not crazy expensive, but you could probably get two 6061 pans for a 7075 pan price wise) and overkill. 254 and many of the westcoast teams use 6061-T6 bellypans pocketed @ .125" Thick.

971 does a cool job of utilizing a turret punch to make their belly pan:

I believe its .060 or .090 5052 AL. Travis/Austin/971 can clarify.
