I need to replace all of the metal brake lines on my 1997 Riviera. Everything from the Master Cylinder to the calipers. What do you consider a fair estimate on the cost for this repair?

Brake lines are tough to estimate as you don't know what kind of "fun" you'll run into along the way. Will bleeders snap, are the fuel lines too close that can end up leaking, etc.

I would think guess $500-1000 as a realistic possibilty.
I would suggest using coated lines or painting/protecting them when you are done installing
