Re: '50 chevy 3100

one reason I don't usually use the softer line is because I think it tends to kink easier. I am old school though.
if you have a crappy bender you will usually get crappy bends. sometimes it's worth the extra bucks for a good quality tool or at least a better one than you have
if you are having some trouble getting the short line bent to match exactly just do an extra complete circle,like a loop, because that will make the connection easier to get right. make sure the top of the loop is the end that connects to the master cyl so any air will automatically self bleed,no crossing the line or making the loop vertical. keep the loops horizontal
what you have there looks clean anyway. thenice thing about doing it yourself is that it is waaay cheaper than having a shop do it. you can afford to do it a few times until you like it.
