Question Butler Transmission Tunnel

These beauties were designed to accommodate an automatic transmission and a bunch of set-back. The result is a huge tunnel and very tight pedal / side leg area. I sat in Mike Monster's Arntz and could not even get my knee past the steering wheel.

With the T-5 in, there is a cavern of space. My question is if anyone has cut out the tunnel and reduced the size to get some more room. The fellow that did my paint / body work seemed to think it would not be too much of a project (he could not get into my car - 6'4").

As you can see from the pic below, there is some nice stitched leather on top. If I do this, my thought was to maintain the angles and fold over the leather.

Thoughts / opinions / advice?
