Original lines are galvanized steel and do definitely rust.  I replaced all 
the lines on the 63 Polara I had with more galvanized lines from Inline Tube 
in Frazier MI (www.inlinetube.com) who makes these lines on computer aided 
mfg equipment from original factory drawings.  I had some lines on my car 
that were questionable as they were covered with undercoating.  I also 
recall removing some lines that appeared healthy but broke easily in my 
hands because they were rusted thin from the inside.  In the end I replaced 
steel lines, flex lines, some wheel cylinders and the master cylinder and 
went to Stainless Steel Brakes silicone fluid.  I never had a problem with 
them afterwords.  The ultimate in safety would porbably be to replace all 
lines with stainless lines, replace all flex lines and all cylinders and 
upgrade to a dual master cylinder (if the single bowl cylinder fails you 
have no brakes unless your emergency brake is really up to snuff and you are 
good with it and have lots of open road in front you to slow down).  The 
Inline Tube guys have everything to replace the oem lines and mounting 
hardware.
