Doodlebug Update

 Gregg sends us another detailed report on restoration of the interior of our UP doodlebug:


The smoker compartment in the doodlebug is now fairly complete on the left side. The upper wall panels are up with all trim.

The window post in the women's room was almost nonexistent. Of course it is in line with the bathroom wall. After removing the frozen screws, I was able to slip the new piece in. New screws were then inserted. The new piece is in white primer.

Then the side piece was reattached. Near the bottom of it is the bracket for the shade roller. Insulation was applied to the outer wall, and then the sheet metal cover over that. Below it is the upper window weatherstrip made of felt.

The short baggage rack was test fitted with two screws. Holes were then marked and drilled. This and the long rack still need to be restored before actually mounting them.
