O.K. Tom,

Apparently you're satisfied the suspension front and rear is up to snuff. Here comes the body shift: Remove the top, seat, carpet, passenger compartment floor insulation and trunk mat. Now all your body bolts (18) are visible. Loosen all bolts. As bad as you believe the displacement is, I suggest removing two bolts and try prying with good heavy drift pins. Try the bolts on the passenger side behind the seat and the one at the back of the trunk on the passenger side. Two people should pry simultaneously.

If that doesn't work, get 4 guys one at each trunk corner (trunk open) and one at each rear wheel opening, lift and shift. If you use the "lift & shift" method, have the doors open to prevent paint damage. You should be able to fine tune the adjustment with a couple of big drift pins now.
Let us know how this worked for you. Tom
