How to get past firewall

I am working on something and need to get a few wires from pretty much bottom of steering column (close by the pedals) through the firewall, any tips on how to get the wires through the firewall?

Am working on this right now at my house, so the soonest I can get this done, the better of I'll be...

you could try removing the carpeting and any parts of the dash i guess. or just find out were the other wires run through the firewall and there will be a little hole there.

I'm almost positive that a bunch of harnesses go through the firewall directly into the fusebox. Thus, if you remove the fusebox you should hit gold. Don't kill me if I'm wrong tho . . but it does makes sense.

thx guys, I got her done!

I had to push the carpet away, then there is a layer of "protecting foam" like material, and there is a hole cut out in it, then a hole in the firewall, and behind the firewall is another layer of that foam...

so no wonder I couldn't see it the first time
