I have a customer who has created a minor electrical horror show at their house.
For example, a power strip, running to an extension cord, running out of the bottom of the kitchen cabinets, through the floor, to a porcelain fixture in the garage, with a receptacle adapter screwed in to the bulb socket. This feed is running the dishwasher, disposal, and a few small appliances.
I want to correct this and other violations and add some new circuits and receptacles.

My question is, can I feed a subpanel from the fuse panel in the attached photo. There's a two fuse pull-out block (labeled PC-1 in the photo). I believe it takes Class K-5 fuses. I'd like to run a set of feeders out of there to a new subpanel.
This district has one of the toughest inspectors in the city and I just want to be prepared.
Also, the existing panel, pictured in the photo, does not have required clearances. By running a feeder to a subpanel, am I triggering a need to comply with 110.26 for the existing equipment.
Thanks for your help as always.
