Default R&R front to back brake line

Doesn't look like to me that it is possible.
Has anyone replaced the front to back brake line on a 65 GTO.
will the one piece line in the kit have to be cut and then reconnected with a union?

Thanks, Dave

Different car, but I did get a 1 piece brake line in my 1969 Firebird. It was an absolute pain and I don't know if it would have been possible without my lift. There should be availability of 2 piece brake lines. These will be much easier to install, at the expense of having a joint.

The last time I replaced a 1 piece line of it was not for having the body off the frame I would have never got it done!

On my '67 I did a stainless line but I needed to bend it more than I wanted to get it over the rear xmember. Not bad otherwise.
