Default 74 coupe level

Hello everybody.
I've got 74 coupe. And, of course, I'm looking for an advice.
I've done a lot of work on my vette this summer including replacing rear leaf spring (trying to level it...it is lower about 2 " on driver side) but it did not help. I'm planning to paint it next spring, but I don't think it is a very good idea unless this problem is fixed
Does anyone has any advice what should I do to level it

Start looking in the front.Take the sway bar loose on one side and start measuring under each fender.You could have a weak left front spring but what I see most of the time is the RF spring tower bent down which pushes the right up and the left side down.Do you see any signs of a crash on the RF fender?
