Braided hoses? Ok, I have been asking around where to get the stainless or chrome braided hoses for your motor? Do any of you guys know where i might find them?

Well I had the most braided lines and they were all custom made.. I have a place called Deering Industries in Signal Hill, CA and you just give them your oem hoses and they convert them to teflon lined stainless (and carbon lined teflon for the AC).. NOT a cheap date but nice results 
The radiator hoses would be hard to do since the radiator ends are plastic so you would not be able to use true AN hoses.. Also the bends are dificult to make unless you use the HUGELY expensive braided lines with the corregated lining.. but (catch 22) this can only be used with true AN..
Fuel line is easy but the air line next to it is a pain because of the plastic..
Lots of pics at my site.. hope this helps..

I have the same fuel rail covers sitting on a desk in my office at home. I am waiting on some head work for my TA, after that, they are going on. They look great, hopefully they will fit as nice as they look.

Hey Steve, it would be pretty cool if you could give an idea of what you paid for your lines. I know you said expensive but that's different things to different people. It helps to know what to expect to pay when you are talking about a 1 off or custom project. Just gives you a little edge up when shopping around.

Hmm.. now this is from memory but...
AC lines: remember that the lines had to be cut and AN fittings welded on.. About ~$400 for ALL the AC lines.. this was with best of the best materials..
PS lines rans about ~$280.. again, AN fittings had to be custom welded and the proper restrictors had to be used to make the flow pressure like stock.
The bypass line (with the AN fitting welded to the steam pipe) ran me around $90..
