I am impressed that you are considering building your own frame. That takes way more skill, time, and tools than I have. Especially the skill part.
I got into the same situation with my Chevelle, just didn't have any experience and didn't know what to look for.

TBH though, after tearing apart the frame on my truck I don't think building one would be that hard! There are only about 14 mounting points for the body to worry about, and the measurements are all out there. I'd probably use a cheap mustang II crossmember for the front and build around that.
