I have the shroud finished and I now need to route the oil lines back to the engine compartment. What material are the hard lines made of? Here are a few pictures of the lines in question.

I think those are copper.
I'm very interested in using this method on my car. The cost of -12 SS line is around $10 per foot. The coppers line are cheap. As long as they don't bang on the metal of the tub or rub where they enter/exit the car I don't see how they can wear out. Tremendous heat transfer, naturally.
