Default 64 gto brake lines

how hard is it to change brake lines on a 64 2dr 4spd hardtop?

Can you snake the front passenger line under the motor?
How about the front to back line, and rear lines?

thanks for any help.

It would be easiest to buy prebent lines from InLine Tubing.

thanks, i plan on buying pre-bent lines.
Can you install the new lines without too much trouble?
Can you get the front passenger line under/around the motor
without too much trouble? How about the "front to back" and "rear" lines?

sorry, my original question was not very clear...

Patience, a lift and a couple of friends and it can be done. There are clips holding the brake line to the front crossmember, they might be a small problem. I don't recall if you will be able to get to them without jacking the engine up a little. The rest of the lines should be ok.
