Anyone got any tips on the best way to cut perfect lines in stainless steel sheet??????

This is strong stuff!
Unless you have access to a guillotine or know of a local engineering company I always use an angle grinder with one of those skinny cutting disks.
I find if you clamp a straight edge to the metal and use your grinder guard as a guide this works well.

Yep. I use a guilotine for thin stuff and plasma for the thicker. Stainless eats up saw blades. Grinder may be best if you dont have access to these machines.

take it to a sheet metal fabricator, they'll do it for a few quid.
