Where to buy 1/4 stainless tubing for air lines?

Hey guys! I was wondering where would be the best place to buy some 1/4 stainless tubing for air line? I don't think i want the rolls because i would imagine it would be hard to make them perfectly straight. I wish they sold 10' lengths of the tubing. Thanks for the help.

josh,

call a brake place like inline. Wherever you get it, make sure it is annealed. Will make your life much easier once you start to flare, unless you buy swagelock fittings. You do not need to flare the tubing with those fittings. I hear they are the shiznit! If you don't get the swagelocks, I found all the fittings I need at speedway (AN fittings)

FYI, I have some pics on my computer at home with hardline that was coiled. I couldn't believe how straight it looks.

Thanks JLAIRD! So swagelock fitings are the way to go? I have never done anything like this so i am really excited. I am thinking about making some custom billet clamps that will hold the tubing on the frame but still make it easy to take off. I can't wait to get started. Any pics that you have would be much appreciated to give me some ideas. I already have majority of it planned out but it never hurts to get a few more ideas. Thanks alot!!!!!

yes, swagelok are thee fittings to get if you are running hardline. You will find that out when you have to pay for them. But just think, no flaring to screw up the line you just spent hours bending!

Here are some pics:

Wow, I love the look of the hardlines! I'll likely do my '71 the same as the '69 only using smaller valves.
