RE: got more work done today
i visited my girl's family out in idaho. i thought it was so funny that they kept all there drinks out in the garage because it was colder out there than in the fridge. i went out to the garage and got a coke and it was just starting to ice. i went and bought a six pack to put out there (they dont drink beer), the next day it was soooo perfect!

EZ...
The brake lines look good, you could polish them up some if you like but its seems you have good radius bends, no kinks and you did double flare them right? Undercar pics looks nice too. imagine if you could have rolled your car on its side to do all of that.. yeah i need a couple of them thingys too.. Looks like you are headed down teh path of righteousness and gearheadednessdom.. almost brings a tear to my eye...
now stop rubbing it in that you can get something done today.

yeah that is a problem... brake lines need a double flare. There is alot of presure there and a single flare wont hold it in. Sorry to tell ya, but you need double flare on there. Every connection needs a double. They arent that tough to do really, and if you cut the ends off short enough, you might get by with the lines you have on there already.
If you decide not to double flare them, and then you cant get a good pedal feel, and it starts leaking everywhere, then you will know what the problem is.
