Sounds like you are happy in the end despite the troubles you had. I do like them too. Now you need some aftermarket wheels to go with them.

I love those wheels, plus they look good with side pipes.

Looks great
. By the way, silver is such an under-rated color for a vette. Good job.

I have a general question. I have a 71 vert with side pipes. I have noticed that with the top up and the windows open the exhaust smell is very strong. With top down it is OK. Is this par for the course?

Great look!!
I have experianced a exhaust leak from the header/side pipe connection to cause fumes and or a open hole through the engine compartment with a gasket leaking.
