kit car and will need to custom make a/c and power steering lines but all
the crimping tools are over 1000$. any help would be appreciated

They are simply not worth doing yourself since numerous places from auto
parts stores to the various Parker stores make custom hydraulic hoses at
low cost.

use aircraft parts. they screw together and can be done in a vice with
a spanner.
you can have a look at these in the online catalogs at aircraft spruce
and specialty or at wicks. look under hose fittings.
the brands are stratoflex and aeroquip.

Please log in for more thread options I really do not understand your concern here. When you buy your components
at most hydraulic stores, they will normally assemble and crimp your hoses
for free.

Trailer it down to your local NAPA Auto Parts Store early in the
morning (maybe schedule it with them first!) Most of them have the
proper tooling to make custom hoses and it can be cheaper than buying
hoses from the dealerships (if those would even work.)
NAPA made all the hoses for the old frame and collision shop I used to
work in. A/C, P/S, other hydraulics, steam cleaner hoses, etc.
