Just respond here is the best

Frontyboy,

I can not give you a quick answer because what I think you are building is around 10% (guess here) of the speedsters built.
That makes getting information harder.
I don't know what is in your head so I can only give you areas to look and maybe something will stick.

Most I have seen use a setup like a '15-'16 firewall to cowl adapters.

There is also the style that Everett Currier makes in Maine

You could spend days drooling over that stuff.

If you search MTFCA Speedster Build then select Images you can get a preview and find pages that have the style you want buried in them like

Hopefully others will have more ideas for you (and me) on your build.
I have a chassis in the corner of the barn that I plan (hope, dream) to make a full body speedster but that is a project with no priority or scheduled start time.
