It looks alright. If you lower it, it would probably make it look 10x better.

They look good on there...Father son projects are always pretty cool. My dad and I have built 2 Mustangs basically from just a shell a few years ago. Enjoy the time spent together that is always the best part!

I'd rather have a beat up car so I could do stuff like that with my father over an already fixed up car any day. You only have one father in your life time.
