As far as I am concerned, if the car is safe and properly fixed, the problems are nil. Do with the settlement as you see fit and can afford.
When I was relating to parts cost - NOS - I was referring to the other meaning - New Old Stock. This means paying GM prices for everything.
I will say this, Ecklers has the parts, but you will pay out the nose for them. They are made with the original GM molds, as I understand it.
