Had the same issue with my '79 Bronco. Sandblasted the entire area, welded metal back, minimal bondo. repainted with farm grade oil based paint, rust came back in a few years. I expect that ford used a particularly poor grade of steel when those body panels were made.
You need the put the front window gasket in with urethane, otherwise water sits in between the gasket and the metal causing it to rust out. This also prevents rusted floor boards because water leaks into the cab behind the dash where you can’t see it and gets under the carpet or rubber mats and does its thing.
Holy crap, that is BAD rust on that windshield frame. 😬 Lesson learned, always pull the windshield on old stuff while doing body work. I'd have liked to see how his tool worked on the Expedition.
I’d be kinda pissed at my body guys for missing that, since that’s a common rust spot. If you knew you were going to be replacing the windshield anyways they should have just removed it to look.
That's a real shame 😢, but I know you'll get it sorted ASAP with help from all your mate's. The T Shirts on your website have changed since last year, have you got any of the previous T shirts available that are not on your website? I was after the White T Shirts 1969 F100 front and rear end , on the front and back of the T Shirt. Size M or L, Thanks.
It probably is there. Luckily it isn't a terrible repair, just have to do it. Cars and trucks that are almost 50 years old, I'd expect there to be some rust. Even on those vehicles that are in salt-free states. Which was why I was pleasantly surprised when I had the windshield on my current car replaced three years ago. Channel was perfect. No rust anywhere. The body has rust in other spots, being a car from New York. At the same time, I had a nearly identical car as a backup. That one I could pick at the cowl just below the windshield seal, and pop the rust bubbles on. Yet, it spent its whole life in the Pacific Northwest. 1984-2011 in Oregon, then 2011-2022 in Washington.
Ya me too. Thought I was home-free with no rust, but now I want to pull the windshield to check because... ya. Dang. Looking forward to watching how you fix it.

thanks
I’m so glad you got the truck to fix things on it and make it be the cools truck from 1978
Trying
I feel your pain on that one. The last 2 that I pulled are like that. And The 2 door crew cab is next and I know it is rotted. Bummer.
Yea i will now always pull the glass
Old truck thing's 😮
Hate to find out though

Hard to believe that Snickers looks so solid & shiny on the surface...then this!
In the thumbnail, I bet you wanted to use a different finger.
It blows my mind and you know that’s right
My high school truck was a 57 Chevy & the roof rusted from the inside out. I feel your pain Solomon!
🙏
The rust sometimes adds sole to some trucks other ones you want them nice like snickers
Exactly right
👍🏴☠️
Bought some merch!
I appreciate you
I had my own trip with my 78. Cracked block on my 351m. Ugggg

i mean i cant be mad at them since i was directing what i wanted done
All that rust must have blowed your yamaka back. It blew mine back and I don't even have a yamaka
🤣 that was good
That's a bummer find but it sure could be worse. Question what would be the best door weather stripping to go with?
I went with what LMC was selling
Love snickers... can't seem to get discount codes to buy some t-shirts 😢.. maybe have to wait until the Supernationals 🎉
It should be working
@@FordEra Y.A.L??... or is that one expired 🤔
It's still good to see your success and passion for our brotherhood group 👍.. Keep the videos coming and I will be watching 👀

i dont have those now but will soon
Just fixed one like that about 3 years ago, easy fix
Just another thing to do
Man rust sucks! But i know you have a good person to fix it right
Yeah but it’s just annoying
Well damn, I literally have a truck very identical to Snickers. Hope I don’t have the same issue, I’m now afraid to find out!! 😬
🤷♂️

Sure did it
@@FordEra I'm scared to look under mine
I bought 2 stickers 3 days ago
thank you so much
Salt water from the coast
I'm in the same place with my 73 I had to replace the whole front end because I rust
Damn
Yeah I've got to pull my window because you can see little pin holes
Seems like that's the only other spot of cancer on the truck honestly though that is a tough spot to get at
it is and it is 🤦♂️
@@FordEra could be a blessing think if you came up with a remained patch panel to sell 🤔
What happened to the blue Chevy that was at i95
its still there
@@FordEra would love to see a video on that truck
Not meant as a criticism, but rust behind windshield molding is almost to be expected. Still sucks though.
it sure does suck
That Rust is worse than Randy Ross's 66 was. and we
You guys did a great job on it, i saw him this weekend
like 35 !
Thank you! Cheers!
your metal guy should've found that rust just sayin thats what they do an what you say them for
How would he have found it? Not visible from the inside or the outside without pulling the glass
No! Not snickers!!!
Stinks
Hope you didn't spend more then $4200.00 for that rusty POS
A little more
Sucks
Sure does
