I didn't mean that I suspected in any way that yours was built that way.

I was just curious about the ones built without proper motor mounts.

Why would anyone build a rod that way?

For less torque twist of the engine and drivetrain?

Was it a tradition from the old, old, early days of hot rodding that some prefer to just keep doing for sentimental reasons?
