so I took a little time off from working on it and today I got the pedal box out this far but its getting stuck. Any tips from here?

I believe the box is punched in between the steering column and the column support. If I remember correctly, you have to lower the column to remove it. Its been more than 10 years since I've removed a pedal box, so I could be off a little on that. I would just look and see what you're getting hung up on if you are able to. The column is held in by two bolts and lowers a bit pretty easily.
