94 GT Brake Line Routing

94 GT Brake Line Routing
Alright, so my 94 GT has a punctured brake line. It rusted and blew a small hole in the side of the rear main line. Does anyone know where it routes to in the front? I can see the rubber line coming from the rear junction box connects to the drivers side of the frame, and the metal line runs from that to the front of the vehicle, along the passenger side of the tranny tunnel, than goes out around the firewall. It looks like it goes behind the fender and wheel well cover, but I can't tell for sure. There doesn't seem to be any more junctions or anything up to this point.
While i'd like to just splice where it's broken using a compression fitting (I know its not recommended, but the line is old so I can't flare it), I think I am going to just pull the entire line and bend some new line to match the old one, and than just route it the stock way.
Do you know how to remove it from the car? Does the wheel well and fender need removed to do so?
Also, what do you recommend for getting an exact bend profile on the new line? Do auto repair shops and brake shops bend new lines when they repair them to match the factory route?
