I think a local shop might be able to re build my existing lines, but I was wondering if there were any available new.
I need all the rubber pieces.
Any advice or tips?

Re: AC Hoses need replacement
I took all of my hoses to a local "mom and pop" auto supply and they built matching new ones for not much money. You should have an auto supply somewhere close that has the equipment to do it. That way you can get them to put in an extra inch or so where you need it.

- Years Owned: Owned a '69 back in about '77, this cat was a legend in the Nebraska panhandle, it was very fast even for it's size. It would absoloutly fog the front tires from a standing start; I don't mean spin them, I mean just boil 'em from a standing start for at least 100' (measured)! I know what you're thinking, they weren't old rag tires they were modern Yokohoma radials. I'm sure this car would have ran 150mph too because many times I had the cruise set on 135 with 1/2 the gas pedal left. BTW this was in the middle of nowhere Wyoming.
I'm finally about to start work on my '66 that I've owned for 10 years. I plan to make sure my '66 425 runs just as strong as my '69 455 did. I hope to be doing some write-ups for the Driver as I go through the '66. I'll be updating it with disc brakes, electric fans (gasp), good stereo system, battery in the trunk etc., etc. as time and money allows.
I also may be building some new wheels with the correct offset, etc. - Location: Hastings, Nebraska
Re: AC Hoses need replacement
My local NAPA auto store rebuilds/builds new hoses and I think most NAPA's do this.
You can also usually find places that make hydrolic hoses that are plenty able to make new A/C hoses also.
