Rear exhaust panel replacement

[Chuck W.]

My AO Smith bodied 66 Coupe 427/425 has side pipes and I know it did not come that way. With the goal being to Top Flight the car I'm removing the side pipes and going with a Gardner under car off road exhaust system. Where can I source the best rear exhaust panel. I know the repops have a different look to them and will suffer some deduction. I would love to find an original panel or advice on who has the best fitting replacements.

Mine's an AO Smith and have it 100% true too! I see that Bairs corvette has a used rear exhaust panel for $195, see it at http://www.bairs.com/page349.asp

If you watch ebay and are careful and ask questions you can get a good original. Be sure they pack it with a board or something strong to protect it.
