Would hate to impinge on the foot area in the backseat Thanks in advance

No cutting necessary on a '40. The Mitchell is a nice unit that operates smoothly.
Still, unless you are acquiring a known good unit, I'd suggest you find a Columbia.
Not sure what a Mitchell costs these days. A properly built Columbia is around $5k.
