Thanks for posting - I appreciate it.

That is what I’ve been thinking would keep things contained and shielded. Thx again.

So this is what I did. Just a piece of sheet metal with some bends in it. Took advantage of some holes a previous owner probably made and used rivnuts on the plate. Certainly helped clean up some wires and ducts from the vintage air system.

No problem. Sorry it took a few weeks but work has been getting most of my time. I'll try to snap a photo of it removed because there are a few more bends that need to be made, and a cutout in the middle, to get it to fit right.

Just to tie a bow in this... if you're gonna mount the filler panel on the inside you gotta make some extra bends to clear a lip on the inside of the dash. Then some of the top/middle of the filler panel has to be removed to clear the hvac panel. So it ends up being a bit of work to do it that way.
Alternatively, you can just screw it to the dash panel from the outside and avoid the extra bends and interference. It would probably be just as inconspicuous.
