'53 flathead - dual glasspacks - make my own?

I've got a '53 F100 I'm working on with a 255 Mercury flathead. It had dual glasspacks on it but the pipes are shot. Using the stock manifolds, how hard would it be to get parts from Advance or NAPA, etc. and make my own exhaust pipes, etc.? I've still got the old glasspacks.
I have moderate welding skills but have no clue how to adjust bends on 2.5" exhaust tubing. It looks like mostly 90's, but if it's off a few degrees how do I adust?

Oh man a Flathead with Dual exhaust is awsome it is the best sound in the world.

You should be able to find prebent tubing at autoparts stores.

If it's off a few degrees just heat the bend and put gloves on and bend it.
