Gregg Wolfersheim reports:
Some interesting things have come to light on the doodlebug project. Sometime in M35's career there was a side swipe incident. Starting near the second window of the smoking section and proceeding at least 20 feet, there is evidence of a gash. In this photo one can see a vertical stiffener applied with a piece of 1 inch angle iron.
In the next opening below the window, the skin was probably ripped open. A piece of plate was welded in place. Note the horizontal line of weld.
And of course the one with the welded patch. In a few days the insulation will be applied along with a new plywood panel to hide all this.
