Default 65 Mustang brake lines

Finally got my 1965 mustang out of the garage ofter sitting for some time. Able to get the car running but it looks like I'm going to need new brake line all around. Any suggestions. Brakes are not power brakes. Can I goto my local parts store and buy a roll of brake line or would it be better to order from a website. If so which does the forum use.

Thanks

It depends on your level of expertise. I would measure and get lines of the lengths needed from the parts store - but then I Have the tools and know-how to make them up. If you don't have tubing bender, flare tools and the ability to use them then you should order pre-made lines from a mustang parts supplier.

They can be had pre-bent from a vendor fairly cheap. mine were pre-bent and they actually fit!

Thank all everyone for the advise. I think I'm going to get the brake lines from my local parts store due to the shipping cost were crazy.

I would get pre-formed replacement lines.

I'm in the process of installing my prebent brake lines as well. Did any of you have to do additional bending towards the rear to get it to fit? Luckily I still have the old ones and will have to get it out to compare.
