As a "reader" with no more information than LE has given us, it is hard to prove anything without knowing the scientific findings. IMO
As far as "duping" or "alternate theories go", IMO, if it is a chop shop, there is a much larger circle involved. I doubt one mechanic does it all. So there are IMO a number of connected rats out there hiding.
Say you have a lot of friends with similar interests but you are the one that has access to huge amounts of money most individuals don't. Who would be most likely to be used? How convenient he had space, tools, trailer, a name and maybe even credit card to use when ordering product, access to the airport--everything a good criminal might need. All in exchange for camaraderie, rent, drugs, automotive assistance, who knows? Then enter leeches and wannabe gangsters and you have a bigger problem. You have ruthlessness.
As for "framing" it may not be outright framing as much as it is having a very good way of pointing to one fall guy.
As I read the comments here I see people say DM did this or that. Indeed, if the LE are completely sure it was him, then yes, but until they give us more than it was a tall guy with a tattoo and light brown hair, that is a problem IMO.
There's no doubt his facility and possessions were involved, and it may even be him that went truck shopping. It may be hard to believe a guy wouldn't know hot items were in his hangar, but maybe he was naive enough (or too hung over, busy sleeping (as one report says he never showed up for work until after 12, busy shopping for real estate, busy collecting rent cheques on the real estate he rented out (if he did), busy with his women (no doubt), to not question the parts brought in and what his supposed "buddies" were doing. There are a lot of auto wreckers with a lot of stuff and a lot of auto shops that sell stuff. It would be believable that a part was obtained from somewhere legit.
As hangar owner, I doubt he would verify every thing. I saw someone had posted a list of jobs Millardair had been advertising and one was "librarian". Maybe the librarian would have been in charge of listing what came in etc. But then again, at that point it wasn't to be an automotive plant.
So, these are just some things to think about in terms of additional theories. IMO
