Did you remember to note how many shims were at each body mount? I think Corvettefaq has a page on body alignment.

There are alignment holes under the door sill plates. Remove the plates there will be plastic plugs under the plate and one hole on each side of the frame. Line the holes up and that should put it where it belongs.
