Expert Posts: 3967 Location: DFW, TX | Great progress! This car is really starting to look nice. Congratulations! I made all the brake lines on my Chrysler. I used NiCopp lines and fittings that I got from "thestopshop" on Amazon. It was really easy to do, and it came with everything I needed except a line bender, a double flare tool, and the clips to mount the lines on the frame. If you are having a hard time getting your pre-bent brake lines, you might consider these. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015YGR0FM https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4X56TQ https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MV6E6BI | ||
