Contact Berrian and see if they will sell you the two rear down tubes and the rear hoop. Adding them would be easy and quick, not sure what it would cost.

If you can't find anyone local with a bender and welder one option would be to buy a cheap longback frame and just transfer everything over. Maybe post on craigslist that you are looking for someone with a bender and welder. Canton is too far for me but some local guys might be able to help. I guess as a las resort buy a bender and welder and spend some time fabricating.
