Dash frame reinstall 70 challenger

[Mopar5]

I had both lower dash pieces installed and don't recall any trouble avoiding them while installing the dash assembly.  I understand your concern though. 

As for the lower dash bracket attachment points, I followed the advice of others and removed paint where the bracket makes contact with the inner structure to ensure a good electrical ground.

Good advice, While overthinking everything ,I would not have thought about that.
