Squared the wing to the fuselage. I ended up making a platform for each wheel using 3/4 plywood and 3 2x4s. The 2x4s raised the wheels high enough to pass a taught string underneath the wheel which just happen to be in line with the wing leading edge. the third 2x4 formed a wheel stop. Dropped four plumb lines from the wing leading edges (two on each
wing at inboard and outboard points) to check fore or aft sweep.

Set the incidence of each wing by using a digital level, a mechanics level Measured and checked from multiple locations
