The last time I visited AMARC (aircraft boneyard in Tucson, AZ), the entire B-1 assembly line was sitting out in the desert under the sun and stars. Who knows if it is still useable? That was years ago. They have probably melted it down for scrap by now.

No. No tooling or manufacturing capability. Gone.
