now that i think about it it would have probably been neat to put some heat shrink tubing over the lines. Too late nowComment

basically the safest lines are the non-DOT approved ones.
As time went on, the factory developed the car each year, making it faster, more comfortable, and capable of handling at higher speeds.
You don’t want this. You want the trickiest, most dangerous, oldest model you can find. Only then can you prove to the world that you’re a man.Comment

SS Lines.
I have made and used Earl's line with Earl's fittings on several competition cars. It requires a fine cutoff wheel and it's best to learn from someone with experience. The need to replace because of grit and grime build up was real and worsened by regular cleaning with degreasers and pressure washers. After a season they always felt oily and grit would work it's way back to the suface. We replaced them every year. There are really good (and expensive) lines available for street cars. They are Teflon/Stainless Braid/Rubber Coating and DOT compliant.
