I'd start by trying to take some side to side measurements from the 
centerline of the frame at several points along the car. If that's not 
practical, or in addition to it even if it is, you should be able to take 
comparative measurements on both sides of the car, say from a frame 
corner to a fender lip, places that logically should yield the same 
measurements on both sides of the car.

HTH, Ron
