The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Firewall pad for ’52 3100

The pad I bought thru Classic Parts, has an ABS plastic face, with some type if fibrous padding. The issue is the plastic does not bend very well and appears that the steering column is in the way. It would be perfect to install before passing anything thru the firewall (including the steering column), as it’s a really nice pad. My initial plan seemed like a solid plan until I found it was too rigid. I’m wondering if I can remove the upper steering column mount where it attaches to the dashboard and slip the pad behind.

I would really appreciate some input from any ‘bolter that has installed one of these pads.
