We FOUND MORE RUST! 1957 Chevy Cab Restoration

In this episode, the resto-mod journey continues for our 1957 4400 on a 1996 Ford Explorer chassis! The focus is on the extensive rust repair needed for the upper windshield and inner panel. Along the way, we learn just how complicated this cab's weldment truly is. We also attempt to fix and metal finish a roof dent (my fault!). Plus, the shop's lighting provides an interesting challenge.
