I disagree. As long as your car has been sitting it's only common sense to replace everything that has to do with your only means of stopping the car effectively.

I've had brake lines that looked perfect but have rusted from the inside out and had them blow on me losing the brakes. Luckily, it was a Hudson and I had the mechanical reserve to get the car stopped.

It's now standard operating procedure to replace everything that has to do with the brake system before I start driving the car anywhere, whether it be down the driveway or around the block.
