Default Custom AC lines

Anyone know where the best place to get AC lines made. Is there a tool set for crimping them? Ive searched the corners of the internet. The only thing i can think of is to order up some stainless braided lines for AC systems used in hot rods.

Any help?

Yes, there's a tool set, but some local NAPA stores can make the hoses for you. They charge about $10 per crimp, while the tool costs $400-+

give vintage air a jingle they should be able to help you out but I hear they are kind of pricey but at least it's done right with no leaks.
