Shims are what adjust the upper control arm.
Besides the other adjustment is with the tie-rods. I can't tell by the picture if there are shims up there. Everything looks right to me.
Good luck to you!

Bruce, the alignment guy , does alot of the customs and hot rods around town. But he has a reputation of being crochity. He complimented me for the work I've done to my truck , so I took that as a positive. There is another guy about 20 miles further that also has a pretty good reputation. That's another option.
Before I disassembled the chassis, I took this picture,this is the D/S Chevelle a arm. You can see that the cross shaft is offset and it has some shims. In hindsight I probably should have used this set up . Today I am going to take the uppers back off to decide exactly what I plan to do. The bottom picture is what I have to deal with. Thank you guys for taking the time to respond to my question. Bill
