Well that's part of it, but it is the "boxy" look I don't like.

I don't think the comment was meant to relate to the headlight but more the designer.

Well I guess that one could say what is meant by "faggy" is anything that isn't macho masculine (i.e. tough and rugged). If it is stylish or softer, that is assumed to be feminine and in a male, for some, that equates to faggy.

The person that you quoted is likely to view me as a butch lesbian, just cause I like classic cars and trucks. It doesn't matter to him that it isn't true.

He is just being stereotypical, and is likely homophobic to boot.

Oh my gosh, are we allowed to use 6 syllable words on this forum????
I thot that was exceeding the sophistication limit that we've worked hard to establish.

Mike -

Correct. I believe that the thread bylaws specifically limit a user's verbosity to 5 syllables. 6 is only allowed if it is a trade name....Bwaahaahaaa

Running Boards - the secret to beauty?

Does that mean if I put running boards on my 59 shortbed it won't be ugly any more?

If you add running boards, they will only Enhance the Already Classic Styling & Designed Good Looks of your '60 & make it Rather Wider.
