Since the body lines are swoopy, how about swooping the running boards in the middle a little more than is shown in the mockup. Make them curve in, (maybe 2" + or- wide at the narrowest point). That will minimize them a little so they don't detract from the body, may even enhance the swoopy body lines. It would also deter people from using them as a running board step. Judging by the project so far, in the end I have not doubt it will turn out cool either way.

Didn't some late 40's early fifties cars have a rolled body line at the bottom of the door that was ''just this close'' to looking like a running board?
