I'm gonna have to disagree with you there.
the "OG" 240 crowd was all about making their own custom parts and actually building everything they needed/wanted for their cars.
Then it became about who spent the most on the name brand stuff. Who had the cooler part's lists.

So, to me, talking about different ways to make your own engine mounts is pretty "OG"
who cares if it is to just "save a buck" or not. its pretty obvious that the discussion is about better ways to do it than just a bolt through a dixie cup
