Locating a fabricator

I have a steel CX frame with limited room for tire clearance between the chain stays. I am willing to pay a fabricator to modify the frame by any means necessary to do this, but I can't find one to do this. I have asked on every forum, Facebook group, and red_it page I could think of no zero skilled craftspersons have come forward to offer their services. I have always heard that steel is easy to work with, but it's pretty hard when metalworkers apparently no longer exist. Any tips for finding these reclusive folks in central Texas?

I have tried adding dimples between my chainstays: waste of money and shattered several tools in the process. Chumba is nearby but they won't work on other companys' frames, which is fair.
