hidden brake systems (aka inboard brake system) on hot rods have been around for years. I have one on my '32 Ford Roadster similar to this

This had nothing to do with looks. Jaguar came out with this. This is about reducing unsprung weight to improve handling.

I use it for looks on my hot rod, allows for deep offset wheel in the back. tubbed and tucked look.
