Still not ready to flip yet, but the playfield is where it needs to be. The picture below doesn't look like much, but it actually took a lot to get there:
I had to move the back rails at least 4-5 times. I started out with the playfield flat (angle only added by the rear feet), but that only gave me about 4.5 inches of height, way lower than I originally designed. I moved it down to give me about 6.5" of height, but then realized the rails weren't even making the left side a good 3/8" too low. After one more adjustment, it was completely level.
So now I can actually shoot a ball, and... ram it into a couple pieces of cardboard wall. The back wall is mounted to the playfield, though I'm pretty sure I need to lower the hole if I want the ball to pass through (unless I carve out part of the cabinet, which I don't). I ended up routing it so I got a nice smooth and flat cut, I can always pop it back out and trim it deeper.
I may actually wire up the flippers and ball trough early just so I can start flipping (not completely happy with the way the slings are turning out).
