Original lines are galvanized steel and do definitely rust. I replaced all the lines on the 63 Polara I had with more galvanized lines from Inline Tube in Frazier MI (www.inlinetube.com) who makes these lines on computer aided mfg equipment from original factory drawings. I had some lines on my car that were questionable as they were covered with undercoating. I also recall removing some lines that appeared healthy but broke easily in my hands because they were rusted thin from the inside. In the end I replaced steel lines, flex lines, some wheel cylinders and the master cylinder and went to Stainless Steel Brakes silicone fluid. I never had a problem with them afterwords. The ultimate in safety would porbably be to replace all lines with stainless lines, replace all flex lines and all cylinders and upgrade to a dual master cylinder (if the single bowl cylinder fails you have no brakes unless your emergency brake is really up to snuff and you are good with it and have lots of open road in front you to slow down). The Inline Tube guys have everything to replace the oem lines and mounting hardware.

 Should hard braKE lines be replaced if they pass an eyeball inspection?
 i know they could theoretically  be rusting inside them from moisture
 in brake fluid, but.... how common is that?
    They are stainless steel, correct, or just steel?
     What about flushing- any way to flush the lines and with what?
   Are new lines expensive?? Hard to put in??
       They have to come out for my floor pan repair so I just thought
       while they are out, better do it right.
