Nope they are steel lines. If you want stainless thats cool but I did not see the need because it will never be a show truck.

The bending tool I use is a Ridgid 456

The inverted flare tool is also a Ridgid. Its a Ridgid 345. When I purchased it I also bought the inverted flare kit. It does not come with it unless stated.

Advice? Not a big deal if you take your time and think it through. I used tig wire (A wire clothes hanger would work also) to make the shapes I needed, then I just transferred that shape to the tubing.
