Looks good!! A company actually sells these for newer Mustangs.
Simple and effective. Nice
I made two for my 00 Century and still have one, cheap, easy and it works.
Looks good.
"Looks good" rhymes with wood....which is what I use to make my jacking pads.
I do like the "give" of hard rubber. Kira

I just use a plain hockey puck. It works fine as-is so I don't bother to cut a slot in it.
First you should find out/ask how strong the pinch weld is on your vehicle. And is that area rusty? Now all vehicles are strong in that area.
Second look at the factory jack and see how it engages the pinch seam.
Third when you bring it some place for service they are just going to lift it at the pinch weld area.
I was told by my mechanic that my Subaru is very strong in that area. The factory jack actually has a deep enough slot that the vehicle is lifted by the metal on either side of the pinch weld, not the bottom of the pinch weld.

How? I have done this with a Dremel cutoff wheel but it is extremely difficult and messy process.
I marked the gap with my pocket knife then made holes.
Then eventually I just started drilling side ways until it was squared and smooth.
