Having had the chance to remove rivets on this aircraft.talking with Bob ready they want to present the aircraft the way it was found on the ice cap. The restoration is to static display only and is using many non standard compnonents, pop rivets, non aircraft sheet metal. It will be the shell of a B-17 not a whole airplane. One of the engines was completely ripped off during the crash. and when I could no longer supply time to the restoration they were trying to find a way to attach the engine so that it would stay in place.
