Gregg Wolfersheim sends us some more photos of his restoration of the UP M-35:
The divider wall between coach and smoker is going back together on M35.
The black line is the 3 inch wide steel bar that holds top to bottom. It also provides stiffening over the doorway.
Part of the wall in primer. Some of the trim was also applied in the women's room.
Some primer was applied on the smoker wall divider. The rest of the wall has the paint removed, but not the old varnish.
Here is the piece of trim that covers the steel reinforcement on the divider wall getting primed. The varnish was removed and a little epoxy work to correct some for was done first.
Some more trim was painted for future reinstallation. The clevis will go over the engine. Three of these were used to help with removing/installing heavy engine components.
On some sections of the inner walls there is water damage to the veneer. Hopefully I can glue these bubbles back into place.

Chances are that your veneer was attached with hide glue. It was commonly used by car builders. One characteristic of hide glue is that it will soften and get sticky again when heated. Frequently when veneer comes loose it can be reattached by heating it with an iron. Spend a little time on google learning about hide glue and you might find your repair is not going to be difficult. Best of luck. David Johnston
