Narrowed beams and airbags are not my cup of tea true enough, but I can see what people are trying to do with them. However, the construction of that
crossover setup makes me really nervous. The way the driver's tie rod end goes straight through your main tie rod without any bracing... I reckon
it's asking for trouble at some stage. I'd be doing some designs and talking to a few mates about how you might brace it a little.

Notched the spring plates out today to get the car lower in the rear to see how it should sit when bagged.also put my side trim on and aussie flash
trim aswell with sticky tape.jus so I could see it looking more like a car for a couple days before I get back into the body work..

Looking good 
I've a 59 shell on a 63 pan that was in surprisingly good condition metal wise but my 56 Oval needed more work than your 58. I do love the semaphore
bugs though
On your engine I think ye may need new barrels as the right hand one seems to have some pitting where oil and water have sat and had a little party.
Shame if the pistons are in good nick
