Yeah, I think they look pretty good if you don't do a lot of rocks. My main concern is also the plates hanging that far below the frame. The good thing is if you decide to weld them you can just cut it off even with the bottom of the frame and weld 'em up. Definitely a great job for a high school project! Glad someone is learning something in school .

they look awsome but if you do mod them turn the scabs Diagonal and weld some braces out to the edges of scabs. Then put your bolts in the corners and ull be set!
