Too Much Positive Camber! 444-544

OK- I've finally got my front end back together on my '64 PV. By reviewing my pre-op photos I corrected my previous toe problem ( I had the center link and the tie rods in the wrong holes of the pitman & steering arms!). So now the toe is set correctly and my wife and I cruised the neighborhood showing all that that old Sweedish beast in the garage actually does run. So now the problem is Positive camber. Even after playing with the camber adjustment eccentric at the ends of the upper A-arms I still have about 5 degrees positive camber. In studying my Volvo manual it says to adjust the caster first, but I haven't figured out a decent way to accomplish this in my garage. Any suggestions before I give up and find an alignment shop ready to take my hard earned cash?
