On the Driver's side I made a bump out so there is more room with the dead pedal.

I may bump out the gas pedal side down the road, but for now it seems ok with the Russ Thompson Gas Pedal. The other mod for the driver's side was a access panel from the engine compartment. I wanted it to appear seamless. So I used rivnuts and and button heads screws to make the largest panel I could. I created a wedge off the firewall and under the body it will slide under the footbox panel with standoffs. It takes a little time to remove but came out nice I think.

On the driver's side I also replaced the forward panel that the steering, wiring, throttle cable, etc pass through. It seemed too piece meal with the original. FFMetal sells a nice blank piece which you can cut as needed.
On the passenger side, I ended up redoing the entire foot box, getting the interior as close to the engine as possible and extending it past the curved tubing. Lots of room now. The original design I could barely get my two feet side by side in the footbox. Now room to spare.
