Just spent 24 hours labor re-tabbing a 650 that had been brutally de-tabbed and that did not include welding and painting. If it had been mine, it would be a parts bike. The customer apparently has more money than common sense because you could have bought a whole 'nother 650 for what he is spending to make this one a useable motorcycle. I guess that is commendable, as are your efforts to save this one. I just hate seeing them get chopped up. I know this frame was wrecked before you got it and you are trying to make something that you like.
