Hydraulic Brake Conversion

I prefer the mechanicals myself but to each there own. I'd put hydraulics on a hot rod but it would likely not have a spring over axle suspension.

I thought that Henry kept his "Buggy Spring" design until the Deuce took over and came out with the "All New Ford" in 1949?
