American Muscle Car Restorations has a Stolen Car!

It appears that Lynn Shackelford’s beloved Dodge Challenger is being restored by Mike Mancini of American Muscle Car Restorations, Inc. in North Kingstown, Rhode Island

Now Mike, you’re shopping up a very nice original car that is stolen. Lynn Shackelford did not sell his car, it was physically removed without his permission and delivered to you. This is the picture I took the day you told him on the telephone “that he was a scam artist and didn’t really own the car”

So I know that you have the car. Lynn really wants his property back. Interstate trafficking in stolen vehicles is a Federal offense and this is a high value item sure to interest the FBI. Are you sure you really want to play this game? Paul Doolittle is well on his way to losing his family farm and spending some time in our newly privatized state prison system. where do you think you’ll be living?

About Art

55 years old. By training, ability and experience I am a master toolmaker. My most recent projects include designing and building a process to grind a G rotor pump shaft with four diameters and holding all four diameters within plus or minus 4 microns of nominal. This was an automated process using two centerless grinders refitted to my specifications using automatic load and unload machines plus automatic feedback gauging. I also designed and built an inspection machine to check for the presence and size of a straight knurl on a hinge pin using a vision system for non-contact gauging.
