After another round of bouncing and rolling, I first checked the A-arm angles. 5° on the left.

And 5° on the right. This might be as low as I want to go.

Torsion bar centers are now both at 6.8" above the floor, about 3/4" lower than yesterday. Front fender lips are now 24.4 (L) and 24.5 ®.

The car now sits about level, with the rocker seam about 6.3" above the floor F and R on both sides.

Since I had to pull the rear shocks again anyway, I decided to raise the rear just a bit.

To tie the spring to the upper perch, I drilled a pair of holes, and then smoothed the edges.

I got out my trusty safety wire and pliers. I used to wire up all kinds of stuff on race cars in the 90s and 2000s.

Now there is about 1/2" of free play in the spring length. Looks like the rear perch still nicely locates the spring, so for now I will not wire that end.

Before I lowered the car, I did a first attempt to create a bit more tire clearance inside the right fender. I think I moved it about 1/8".

After that, I lowered the car, did another bounce and roll session, and measured. The rear end of the rocker seam is now about 1/4" higher than the front. I think this is pretty good for now.

"Default" camber is also close enough, fronts -0.1 L and +0.5 R (and easily adjusted), rears -0.6 L and 0.0 R.

Next step is to roughly set the toe and then camber.

Thanks, guys. Getting closer.

Meanwhile, grand daughter is coming up on 3 months. Her new thing is laughing, especially at fart sounds. No idea where she gets that.

Time to put the engine lid together. Letters in the right order (I hope).
