I am just about done and ready for paint......then I accidently cut the brake line for the front passenger side. This is the metal brake line that runs along the fire wall. How hard is it to replace and how much is it? Thanks

Cut line shouldn't be a problem for someone named "hoseman".

This'll give it a bump - one of the Stang guys should be able to tell you. I'd wander down to my local Stang junk yard and ask about a replacement.

The brake line itself should not be expensive. However the replacement may be a little teedious because of the location.

Good luck!

I agree. I broke one on my F150 one time and it was worlds easier I'm sure to grab one off the junkyard and swap it than try and cut and bend and flare the ends on a new piece. Plus, since I took it oof at the junkyard, I already knew exactly how to get mine off and how it would go back on.

Has anyone done a replacement recently and if so, how did everything work out?

I rerouted all the brake lines inside my engine bay 2 yrs ago, and as long as you double flare the ends correctly and watch how you run the lines you shouldn't have any problems with everything working out.
