Not sure they're gift shop frames… and not sure they belong in art galleries because they just have too sophisticated traffic… but there are places that sell automotive art and you wouldn't need many places to stock 3 or 4 models.
75 or 100 retail -- so 37.50 to 50 cost.. can you make one in an hour if you were making a few at a time? Cut the pieces - jig - weld - clear coat…

Once jigs and templates were made I'd say 2 hours at best. Consider miter joint prep, clamping, cooling, sanding, head-scratching, *@$# tungsten grinding, etc.
I don't have a good corner clamp yet or enough decent clamps for that matter so all the joints are hand fit.......slow going right now.
I did this one today and it was at least 4 hours.
It's simply impossible to have too many tools!
I have so many more than Joe Average and I could conservatively spend $20K in a heartbeat.
