'37 Chevy advice needed

I've got a chopped top 37 chevy with a frame mounted master cyl. I used a
kit from chassis engineering and had to modify it to add a clutch master
cylinder and add a 2nd pedal since I decided to go to a muncie 4spd.
I have a few friends that have similar setups and none of them are remote
fill and when necessary they get under the car with a turkey baster and a
section of clear tubing. My car is still a work in progress so I haven't
had to go through the hassle of adding fluid. I prefer the frame mount only
because I want a clean firewall. Either configuration can work it is just
a matter of preference.

I have the chassis engineering mustang 2 kit for steering. I don't have
power steering but it doesn't seem to need it. I ran the car for a couple
of hundred miles with temporary wiring just to test stuff out. Right now
the drivetrain is out and I'm finishing up the body work to paint it. I
had the body off and went through all the running gear a couple of years
ago.

the battery is in the trunk. i built the exhaust system by buying a bunch
of prebent and straight 2.25" pieces and welding them together. the engine
is a 350 with Iron Eagle heads, shaved to 63cc, ZZ4 roller cam and 2
4-barrels. it is really fast and burns rubber like nobodies business. kind
of a pain doing that with no interior as it all fills up with smoke.
