Correct, the spring should not be installed at that point of the body installation as it will not properly clear that which is behind the instrument panel. Good point.

The phaetons and roadsters are the only '32 bodies where it is highly recommended to have the instrument panel and dash in place when installing the body on the chassis frame. With all of the others, that can be left for after the body is installed. However, it takes to people or one with seriously long arms to install the instrument panel fasteners once the body is in place.
