If god drove a car it would be an eagle. A solid gold, diamond encrusted eagle with... I don't know... clouds for tires or something... but an eagle non the less.

Most people just use steel brake line, you can also use the new copper mix brake line that is super easy to bend and doesn't require a bender, yet is stiff enough to not brake.  As for the return line, you can even use a length of rubber hose fan to whatever is left of your steel line and just clamp it on since the return temp and pressure are low.

you can have new ones made also.. costs a bit though. our local brake guy will make them for me.. and any other tubing i need. i like the sound of carguy87's post about the new copper mix brake line. But the rubber tubing option works also.. as that is what i currently am using.

You can get pre-bent ones for a Mopar with slant 6 and mod/bend them slightly.
