Well I'm keeping the drum brakes instead of going with disk, what would you guys prefer for brake lines?

Maybe steel? (sorry I must of missed something here)

Trying to replace the ones I have which are steel but then I'd have to order them, ugh that will take a while -.-

im not sure what you are asking either? id go steel also. i would stay with the same diameter bigger you gain volume/lose pressure. smaller giain pressure lose volume. you can opt for braided hoses to the wheel cylinders

if the hard lines are still good, clean them out. replace the soft lines with earl's braided stainless ones.

Stainless steel lines...... enough said. lol

There are two "grades" of steel brake lines out there at the local part stores if you decide to make your own, which is easy just time consuming. There are bare steel and a coated steel, get the coated steel.

Sorry for my question being a little off, I meant to say, What type of brake lines should I get, Right now the car has a 11in drum brakes which need to be replaced and the lines might need to be replaced, steel is looking like the way to go so far

You can buy steel brake line at the parts store pretty cheap. It comes in different lengths. Just get under there with a small tape measure and get a ball park idea of how long they need to be and add a couple of feet for bends. It does take time to do a proper job and a lot less time to do a poor job but it's not hard to do. You can bend the stuff with your hands, it won't kink like you might think.

Like any job, the worst part is getting started
