B-17 Carry Through Spar Tubes

Attention!
Is your B-17 suffering from corrosion or cracks in the
carry through spars? Are you rebuilding bulkheads 4 or 5?
Are you stuck taking round X4130 tubes and machining them
square?

Well, I have the answer for you!

My colleagues and I have found a major mill that
will produce brand new carry through spars
in a quantity smaller than a 5000 piece run,
all in the name of keeping B-17 flying for another
50 years. I feel that this will be a one time opportunity,
so contact me by PM for details.

Remember that Murphy lurks. When you need them,
they won't be available!

Have contacted the B-17 Co-Op?

THis sounds like an ideal job for them.

50 years ! Don't you know that by then, any surviving B-17s will be fitted with antigravity devices and the wings and engines will simply be for looks ?
Don't you even READ Popular Science ? :shock:

It is good news though for those folks who would want to rely on the old ways.

We were there, but this just happened on Friday.
I wanted to get the word out ASAP, as we don't
want to waste this opportunity.

And about the anti-gravity devices - I'm making
calls about them early next year. :-D

Oh yeah - Anyone thinking about a B-17 project?
If you have some $$$ to start, I think we may
have something to talk to you about.
