Re: Scars are in?

My Longhorn has "scars" from the factory, how about that !!!!
On a more serious side note: I've seen "scars" in the hot rod world for years, especially rat rods leave the welds visible where they chopped the top, for example, or on custom motorcycles nice welds could be part of the design. Could also be a nod to racing, where going fast is more important than looks and you see chopped up and unfinished body panels. At least they don't try to hide anything: "Sure, it's a factory short bed, oh rats, the SPID got scratched....."
