Not trying to hijack this thread, but want to clear up the matter of the "Shelby tooling".

I believe I am responsible for the misinformation. I said at one time that Ron "had bought the Shelby tooling". I got in a lot of trouble with Jamo for that and rightly so.

What really happened is that Ron bought most everything in Shelby's shop (obviously no tooling for the bodies or frames), consisting of lots of tools, machines, materials, etc.

As for the Arntz stuff, he ended up with frames and stuff like bodies, etc. when Arntz went out of business and then started building Butlers. As most people know, he built the frames for Arntz.
