That mustang rear cutaway looks like the dudes-only party invitations from Its Always Sunny where they wanted it to look like biceps/arms flexing, but wound up just looking like a dick.

OK, was this chopped up, routed with a drill press, set on fire and then dipped in gold glitter?

It looks like the soul of someone who's been playing in Vegas for 30 years. It'll still make music, but its more of a spectacle than a performer.
