I built an 88 frame in 1983 for my 1970. It took a long time but was worth it. The frame is still in good condition. If you can weld yourself it is a great challenge and fun but if you have to pay a welder then I suspect you would be better off to buy one.

Can you share any pictures?

If you can't, can you spend a few minutes describing the fab process you used to make it? It sounds like an interesting pursuit.

Even w/ a few hundred for shipping, it's more like $2k, not $3k....

Might want to check that price again, more like $2199......

Here is a frame build idea. Granted this is for a '32 ford which is way more complicated (curvey) than a rover frame, but it gives you an idea on how to do it.
