If I choose to do my own brake lines would I have to bend fit and put the brake lines on first before I swap the rear or can I swap it and do the rest later?

Tubing is really cheap. I'd get a lot extra though, in case some flares don't turn out right. I can't stress enough that you have to strive for perfection.
You do not need to swap all of the lines on the car. There should be a flex hose back by the rear axle that acts as a union between two halves of the brake line going to the rear wheels. Pop under the car and you will see what I mean. You should only have to replace the two brake lines on the rear axle.
Have a look at these vids:

I don't think you will need the torch, though.
