Pictures from my master cylinder replacement:

 

Old hard brake line and new replacement. You can see how gnarled the old one was. Was a bitch to get a good grip on it with the brake line wrench. After bending the new hard line, it was 1/4" short, so I had to go back and get the next longest line.

Replaced the heater hoses. I was having trouble finding a firewall grommet for the hose, but I found a $2 PCV grommet at Autozone. I also bought a 90 degree elbow heater hose pass through.

I pulled back the insulation to get more nipple access for the hose. So far no leaks!
