Don't know about the kits but I have dealt with this company a few years back for stainless fuel line and complete stainless brake line kit for my car. Good product.

I'm sure it is a very good kit, convenient but pricey though. Up to you. Do you want to save $150+ and do it yourself or just order a package? For some similar projects I've paid the price and for others I've done it myself.

What I did was buy a new 67 MC from NAPA for $50. I could have bought a rebuilt one for $25. The 67 front brake line tee came from the usual suppliers. I fabbed my own brake lines to the front tee and the rear brake line. I had to scramble around to find the adapters that you need to put in the MC to plumb up the front/rear brake line but paid only a couple bucks each. I didn't put in a "proportioning valve" as it's main purpose is to provide a switch for the brake light which my 63 doesn't have anyway. I spent less than $100.

I've posted lots of pictures in the past about my little project.
