I did the same thing with transmission lines for my old Ramcharger. Took the old lines to Fine Lines in Medina, Ohio (local to me) and they made up a set that day. Dropped off the old lines in the morning, picked up the finished product at the end of the day. Cost was about $65 if I remember correctly.

Just this past summer I was talking to a fellow at the Iola WI car show. He was selling stainless steel brake lines. All he had with him were the typical Chevy, Ford stuff. I asked him about lines for my 59 Plymouth and he said he would make lines to match original shape and length for my wagon if I brought him the old lines. He estimated the cost to be around $90 -$125.
I did not think this was too bad considering the time and material it takes to make them. Of course I did not have my old lines with me and do not have his name or number. And, I hope to have the wagon on the road before Iola in July, so I cannot wait until then to see if he is still willing to do them .
What I will do is watch for him this year and see if he is still around that price. Maybe I need to take the original lines off my 59 Ply parts car, 2 dr., and have him make a couple of sets to sell. Would these fit the 57 -58 Plymouths too?
Just a thought, John in WI cloudy all day, 40 deg. and loving it! (compared to 15 - 26 below 10 days ago.)
ps: may just be able to get the two side headliner pieces out of my 59 Belvedere 2 dr. hdtp. and sell them...anyone looking for these or other 59 2 dr. parts...glass...318 torqueflite WO/Shift cable (ran 2 yrs. ago when parked) rear end assy...brake assy.
