I am finally finishing ground up restoration of my '37 Coupe. I am replacing all brake lines and when I removed the old I pitched them. My question is there someone who has diagram of the placement and routing of new lines with blocks. Appreciate Mitch

Is your car a Master or Master Deluxe?
The lines around the front suspension are very different depending on the model.

Page 96 of the 1937 Shop Manual shows the general routing.
I assume that you kept the junction blocks. Once those are physically located you can get a pretty good idea of the actual routing.

The general routings are the very similar for both models. My recommendation is to find a VCCA member near you who has a '37 and take lots of pictures.
I also highly recommend that you purchase a set of pre-bent lines unless you have lots of experience bending brake lines with multiple offset bends and making double flares. The lengths of the tubing needed for the various lines will not match what you buy from the auto parts store.
