I'd give that idea up real quick , far too many differant cars for anyone to get into prebending brake lines and make a profit when its so easy to bend your own . BUD -
I've been brousing through this forum and came to your question. You can get brake lines and fuel lines [Stainless or regular steel ones] pre bent at a resonable price. If you carefully remove your old ones they can computer bend new lines exactly as the old ones. I had them done on my 41 hudson a couple years ago. B eautiful job. let me know if your still interested and I'll post the info. Jim

Welcome to the forum. I had a 40 Ply 2 door Sedan in my hi shool years. It served me well.
I would be very surprised if there were pre bent brake lines available for it. There are ralatively inexpensive ready made brake lines in various lengths available at auto parts stores that can be easily bent with a tube bender. Just use your old brake lines as a pattern. The exact shape isn't necessary as long as the fittings are at the correct angles. It is not rocket science. It is not difficult to do and you have the satisfaction of doing it yourself. Keep away from exhaust system.
Good luck and keep us posted on your project.
Can you post some pictures of your car? That would bring back some fond memories.

Jim,
I just saw the original post was 2 year ago. How about posting the information anyway. Maybe post it on the Hudson forum also.

If you can get the old ones off without destorying them you could take them to a brake shop as a pattern & they cold bend a new set for you !!??
