That is insane! I thought it looked clean before they started.

Awesome pics!

I flew in a B-17 last summer out of Akron airport. It was like $450 for a 30 minute flight or so. It was amazing. The top turret was removed so you could stick your head out while flying.

that would suck

I bet polishing all of those rivets was a PITA. The outcome looked fantastic though! I bet it would blind another pilot in a dog fight now.

Holy shit that’s freaking awesome! I love those crazy detailers on autopia :smiley: They are certainly hard-fucking-core for sure.

holy shit

i get tired of polishing on one of my 24.5 wheels at work. F that.

they are not 22.5’s ???

if they were i would have said 22.5:itr41:

Proof

Until you recieved payment for the job, then it may be slightly more worth it.

that is wild.

awesome ! b17 = best airplane ever

would be cool to be involved with a project like that, pretty badass.
