Piper J-5A pilot reported a loss of control while landing in gusty wind conditions. As the aircraft touched down; the pilot turned the aircraft into the wind; and over-correcting with the brakes resulted in the aircraft flipping onto its nose.

Narrative

I was landing in gusty wind conditions at ZZZ; on Runway XX; with winds from the right at a 45 degree angle to the runway. I was landing into the wind. My approach was stable and I touched down and settled into the ground roll. A gust of wind hit me and turned me into the wind. I was slowing down and over corrected with braking action and went on my nose.Airport staff helped me out of the airplane and we lowered the tail without any further damage. There was a prop strike that destroyed the propellor; bent the motor mount and did some damage to the cowling and prop spinner. I did take photos.Upon further analysis and thought about the incident and the nose over; I realized that the nose over was further aggravated because I was flying from the front seat. The J-5A can be flown solo from the front or the back. By flying it from the front seat; the Center of Gravity and the braking action culminated in me going on the nose. After the accident; the mechanic at the fields first statement to me was 'what kind of brakes do you have'? When I answered Company; he said that I should take them off when I get it back flying; they are overkill.
