Hello stingraymaniac. Good looking work/results you have going on there.
Something I noticed in the first picture. It looks like the hydraulic brake line on the right rear caliper is copper? If so, you may want to consider replacing that line unless it is already on your "To Do" list.
If it is copper, my understanding is that it will fatigue and eventually crack and thus no stopping enjoyment.
Never heard of that?
All the lines are changed to copper on the car, no more rust.
Bought them from the local brake company, have copper on my daily also, salty roads kill steel lines over here in the winter so.
Yes it's copper, works great have been on for 15 years without problems, as said above I have it on my daily also, no problems and it has 205000 miles on the clock

I like the 2 tone black your doing under your vette , its looking great .
About the copper lines ? by chance , are they a copper/nickel alloy or a "cunifer" line ?
its just that plain copper lines are illegal here for safety reasons .
