Explain your point here.
The chassis is a solid unit. A ground to the chassis under the hood and one in the trunk will see very little if any voltage differential.
The engine is grounded to the chassis, then the battery. So if the engine is grounded to the chassis in one place and the battery another, you're doing the same thing. The extra length of wire you're using is just a huge amount of resistance.
Does it work? Sure. But is it
correct, no. Could it be done better? Absolutely. Just because your way of halfassing shit works doesn't mean it's the right way to do it. I bet you're also the guy who uses crimp caps to connect wires instead of solder/heatshrink. Sure it makes a connection, but it looks like shit and causes a point where resistance and corrosion can occur. But hey, it's your car. You like rigging it, cool.
