Yep, that was my guess too, thanks for seconding the idea. But after thinking about it a while, there are plenty of places to hook onto without adding a bracket. Really no reason to weld another just for an acid bath.

I started digging thru before photos of the chassis and found the bracket was there before it went to Duntov. I'm sure they just assumed it was there for a reason too. If it was meant to be a temporary bracket then they sure went to a lot of trouble to fabricate and position. Looks like it was on the chassis a long time.

Did the car ever have side exhaust. Maybe it's a "bubba" bracket for stablizing the side pipe at the curve. Any evidence of one on the other side?

that seems like a good guess,
If it is above the splash shield, it could be that someone fabed in a coolant catch can, a alarm siren, or just about any piece of added on equiptment.......
the frame looks great
