I bought a McLeod Super Street Pro clutch kit from Summit Racing a while back for my BB. It came with the disc, pressure plate and throw out bearing. $ 300 with free shipping. Not bad really. You could spend less depending on what you need.

For ordinary street driving an ordinary clutch kit is all you need. About $150-$175 and available from any auto parts store. No sense in buying a brand name with a fancy paint job for double the cost. when its made using the same parts from the same suppliers.
As the new parts are so inexpensive I don't think anyone bothers to rebuild them any more; especially with China making most everything now days. I bought a new AC Delco wiper relay 2 weeks ago and it came in a small box marked "Made In China" which was in a slightly larger box marked "AC Delco".

Factory Replacement Clutch:
Mcleod Clutch:
It's more than just 'paint', the 'same parts' and a 'fancy name'. These are designed for hard, extended use and abuse and will outlast a factory clutch by a good measure.
