Need Advice on making stainless brakelines - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm not sure where to put this question, so I posted it here. Where can i get pieces of stainless tubing without getting it in set lengths from the parts store? I was told you could buy it in rolls but how would you straighten it out. Now I know there are kits you can buy, but I want to make my own , just because I want the experience.
I have also been told before that stainless couldn't be flared to the standard 45* flare, is this true? I am aware of it needing to be doubled flared also.
So hoping for some tips and possible sources.
