Default Need help with checking fuselage!

Do you have all the formers marked at center? If so, you can stand it on the firewall, making sure that the surface it stands on is dead flat and level. Hang a plumb bob from the tailpost. The string should line up perfectly with the center lines. This also assumes no right thrust is built into the firewall. If there's right thrust, you'll have to shim it up til the firewall is level with the surface.
