Removing 68 Barracuda Dash Panel/Instrument Cluster Assembly

I was able to finagle the old panel out. Found the heater control bolts but it was kinda hard to reach as i had to nearly tilt the dash 90 degrees to get to them. How am i going to put rhe new panel in without scratching it up. I tried loosening the bolts rhat I thought might move the steering column down for additional space but it didn't really help much.
