The driver side rail is sitting farther back than the passenger side relative to a perpendicular line.
Joe's suggestion to use plumb bobs and masking tape is ideal.
I'd create a virtual map of the frame with lots of points on the floor.
Take some measurements from a level floor to points on each side of the frame to see if it's twisted as well as racked.
Be glad you noticed this now before installing the bodywork. A frame shop ought to have an easy time stretching things back into shape.
