That does look like the start of a nice install. Looks to be a dual 7" booster?? Were you able to keep any of the firewall openings for the loom usable or will there be a new loom exiting at a different location? How much clearance is there to the emergency brake mechanism?

Aside from the loom, electrical looks to have some clearance problems. Power window relay relocation is not much of an issue on 55s since it can move higher to the ledge like 56 did but for anyone wanting to install the booster on 56 cars the torsion level solenoids and electric shift relays would appear to be very close to the brake line. Is there enough clearance the lines can be bent rearward or downward to move them away from the edge of the inner fender or will it be necessary to relocate the solenoids, fuses or relays? On the interior will the heater duct clear the high pedal mount location or will that need to be revised and how about the wiper tensioner?
