Default Brake Line & MC replacement kit opinions

Ive asked this question before but it has been at least a year so I wanted to see if anyone on the forum has used this kit yet. I want to convert to a dual master cylinder and replace the rear brake line (front has been replaced) purely for safety reasons. I dont have the ability to lift the body so Ive been debating this kit for over a year. I would like some opinions or feedback first ('65 convertible):

Did you use the kit? If so how did you make out? I am thinking of using the same kit on my 63

It would be interesting to find out what the difference is between their "body off" and "body on" versions of the same kit and how that changes the location/mounting of the new rear brake line.

I have not pulled the trigger on this kit yet. I was going to but I decided on some other winter projects instead. I think the difference between the "body on" kit and "body off" kit is that with the body on kit the brake line is mounted on the side of the frame instead of on top of the frame.
