Are you going to do it all yourself? I think keep it semi standard I.e change from original with things that you can reverse like wheels and interior.

At least with a completely new front end /bulkhead we should be good for many many years

So either
The toe board is meant to be completely straight and flat its full width or its got a slight taper upwards on the ends where it meets the inner wings
If i
So either we need to fetch the toe board down at the end to meet the inner wing return or we need to trim the lower of the inner wing to suit just trying towfind out wether its meant towbe flat or not
