My suggestion is to find a local place in an industrial park that will work with you. Our local place isn't pretty and my order isn't typical (they mostly do patio furniture and aluminum awnings). $275 got all this done and my 914-6 tank. Everything looked like crap on the way in.

Exactly! The place where I live will do the parts cheaper than I can rattle-can them. A few years back, they did a full tube frame for a Lotus 23, and 35 individual suspension, engine mount, etc. bits for $235. Their usual stuff is large cherry lugs for the local farm industry.
