Help on Base Construction Issue

[Kuda]

Hey all. I am beginning my first build and upon constructing the base of the trailer I ran into an issue with the proportions of framing. The left side is shifted downward about 1/2". I believe this is due to my 5 x 8 trailer being off square by 1 or 2 degrees. The edges sit parallel and completely flush with the trailer so I am not as concerned with the walls as much as I am where the ceiling attaches to the base. Any tips on how to fix this problem? I included a few images to show what's giving me the trouble. Thanks!

Either fix the frame or build the walls to match the curve in the frame. This would give you a "level" roof.

Here in Oz, we could take that trailer chassis to a crash repair shop and get it put on the Mayrack and pulled straight.
I even know DIY car restorers who have chain down points cast in the garage floor who can pull stuff straight.
Maybe you know someone like that?
Beats trying to build your teardrop off square to suit the frame.

Put the frame up on blocks and weight it heavily to flatten out the frame. Build your body true and correct and the shell will eliminate the droop in the frame if designed well enough.

Is that a bolt-together trailer? If so, it needs to be squared up. Just measure the diagonals.
