Ride Height
After having the front end rebuilt, with new springs, and new shocks all around and having reversed the 7 leaf spring (I hope I did) as I pulled it out and forgot which end was which!! my 70 Vette still is low on the left rear, not much, but noticeable, what options do I have left.

factory mold flaw...IMHO. If you compensate (visually) with the left rear bolt, your "floor to fender lip" heigth will be about an inch taller on the left side rear vs the right side rear

Maybe one quater panel was replaced and glassed on too low/high ??
You can compensate a little bit with the spring bolts but I wouldn't change it too much, maybe 1/2"

I had the front and rear suspension components all replaced at the same time, but still, the slightly noticeable lean to the left from the rear.
As much as I've read about the possible lean on cars even from the factory on these boards, I worry about it less and less...
...but then again, I'm always finding something else to obsess about "fixing" on this car.
IT NEVER ENDS...haha
