To me, the "I" references seem to indicate when he was actually building frames, while "we" refers to the company and a period when he was no longer building frames personally.
He never states that he built frames, but rather that he welded for Gloria. It could be another case like one of the Masi gofers parlaying his "work" at Masi into "framebuilding experience" at Masi. Just because you welded for Gloria does not a frame builder of you make.
