The whole car is badass!

I always loved the look of a T-top car with a cage and the roofs off.

Well, since your thread is 'New TA dash thoughts' , I do have one. Upon seeing the bezel in the dash, kudos to you for having the ability you would need to concentrate on the gauges while driving and ignoring (what appears to me) the randomness of the firebirds. It would be a bit distracting for me.

If the other pieces followed suit, then yeah, I guess it would look Ok.....it’s certainly looks like it’s been done right.
That said, personally, it’s a bit busy with all the birds on it......but that’s just me.

I see bats in flight instead of Firebirds but it may just be me. Nice craftsmanship though.

Do you know why there is 1 turn signal lit with the lights? My car does that and I've never chased that down.

Normally they're off but I forgot to hook the dash ground up. It did do that once when one of the front turn signal bulbs shorted out. You may have a bad pig tail on one of your turn signals. ???

Too busy for me and with all the birds flying around in different directions reminds me of a swarm of insects...that's taking the dash as a standalone object....but seeing it in your particular car as a whole, I like it!
