I believe the majority of us make our own, though stock lengths with fittings are available at most FLAPS and there are services that supply formed lines for specific models.
If making your own, I suggest the new copper/nickel tubing. There is no chance of rusting and it is easy to form.
Making them yourself is, by far, the quickest, simplest and cheapest way to go.Brad Johnson,

3/16" nickel-copper line is available at NAPA. It's not cheap, I paid about $75.00 for a 25 ft. coil. I re-used most of the inverted flare fittings from the steel lines, and double flared the tube ends. I duplicated the bends with a tubing bender and by hand. It worked out very well.

You will need a double flaring tool, unless you buy the pre-built segment lengths.
Cheap ones are functional.
Higher end are hydraulic.

Try www.inlinetube.com or www.classictube.com both have "some" of the Studebaker patterns, I think in line tube has the lines in stainless, for under $200. If they do not have the patterns, send them your lines and they can make them up.
