    the first pic is pretty close to a stock original firewall. Most glass bodies have about a 6" -8" setback in the middle for a v-8 clearance. I think your biggest problem is that the floor does not remain flat to the firewall but has the angled "footrest" added, which probably shouldn't have been. perhaps you can remove that and let the floor continue on to the firewall. that should give you the room for pedals. as for needing "ape" arms, just allow your steering column to reach back to you. You will learn to lean forward to look out the windows. Don't expect to see much though, especially out the back windows.
