While building my car, I recognized the same issue with footspace. Prior to assembly, I "pushed out" all of the reliefs for big-block heads, headers, etc.

Fiberglass is a fascinating medium. It is not necessarily essential to cut-out the offending item. With planning, good cutting and heat, a panel can be moved, then reglassed.

For example, cut three sides of a square in the offensive area. Then apply lots of heat to the fourth side (be careful, the resin can catch fire). When it becomes pliable, move the panel where you want it, hold it in place until cool, then fill-in the empty space with metal or 'glass.

Offsetting the pedals also gave me lots of room for my left foot.

Good luck!
