Got a little bit done today.
This is the fuel tank evap line that went into the charcoal canister which is now under my workbench never to be installed again. I cut this line back so it ends underneath the car. May do something more with that later but it's fine for now.
So here you can see that evap line that I removed. Also that is where the stock ABS and charcoal canister used to be, so I have a nice big empty corner there now :)

Picked up a Tee Fitting (3/8-24) from Vatozone. So on the Tee side they will be standard fittings, but on the car components they will still be metric to mate up to their respective components. Bought two lengths of 3/16" line from Vatozone as well. This is some sort of copper alloy which is nice to use as it's easy to bend. I still have to flare one end of it but you can basically see how it is routed here. This is the Tee for the front brakes. So it will just leave the master cylinder, go into the Tee and from there two lines will come out (1 for pass side and 1 for drv side). So that is the only line I've made so far, but I consider it a success as I worked slow to try and make it as nice as possible, and it was the first line I've ever made before so it's not perfect, but not bad for the first time :)

So 1 line down. Figure I can slowly just work on and aim for 1 line a day, and then the brakes should be done.

Front brake lines are all mocked up. All I need to do is some flaring which I think is going to suck, haha. Here's some pics, showing how the line is routed.

The line from the bottom of the Tee, coming down then bent right under the brake booster, then bent straight again to continue going towards the front of the car

Same bend as shown above, but from further back so you can see the last bend that takes it through the gromet and into the fender well

Nice. So are the brakes all proportioned correctly doing this then?

Yes, the proportioning valve is built into the master cylinder.

Hmmm... maybe it comes with Ms. Pacman already on it :)
Anyhow no real big update. Spent the weekend in Fargo so wasn't able to do much. However Dave Henry (black redonk na-t supra) was kind enough to let me and the g/f stop by his place to chat for a little while this weekend. I picked up a drain line flange from him that'll bolt to the oil pan so one more small part to add to the stash of parts in the garage. Kind of cool to see some of the stuff he's doing, as well as some nice carnage.
