what do you all think about working with stainless brake lines. is it worth doing myself or should i just buy a pre bent kit and make it work?

you can purchase them prebent in stainless and not that much more than standard bent lines

yeah i`ve been looking on classic tube. it is a 93 with sn95 brakes and a skinny kid manual brake conversion. i didn`t want to buy the kit and ruin it trying to get it to fit... plus i was wanting to put the lines under the pinch weld on the firewall. what ya think?

that's who i purchased my lines from. On one section I wanted to do custom so I sent them my old line i had prebent and they made the new custom to that size. It did take a couple trial end error but they worked with me and sent back a new section if I was not happy with the fit. They also sell stainless straps and screws for attaching the line I recommend

I do these all the time, the copper nickel alloy is better for working with the stainless just looks better. Stop by some time I'll show you all the materials and tools needed.
