1977 Brake line replacement

I am looking for a good repair shop, in the Buffalo area, to have the brake lines on my 1977 Corvette replaced.

Find your local Corvette club or NCRS group. They will know who does good work.

I did the job myself. While not the easiest in the world if you have a lift, time, patience, flair nut wrenches, rust desolver, bandaids, and buy all the parts from Willcox you probably have a shot at saving big bucks. Now if you want to just let someone else do it and get it back in a couple of days then that works too.

I don't live near Buffalo but the cost to do that here in Easton, PA drove me to try it myself.
Cost to buy the parts - $125.
Cost to buy the lift - $4,000
Cost to buy the bandaids - $3.00
Cost of getting the feeling back in my fingers - priceless.
Best of success either way you go.
