Default Brake Line installation woes

Has anybody ever been succesful installing the front-to-rear brake line under the driver's side WITH THE BODY ON? Has anyone ever done this by cutting the line in two and introducing a fitting?
Thanks.

A couple of years ago, I changed all of my lines to preformed stainless. I had the car up I high as I could go on jackstands. I do remember it being impossible, but I think I 'bowed" the lines a bit.

I changed my lines with the body on. I was about to give up when somehow the line went in. You need to force and bend the lines a little. Good luck
