I too ran into issues with the core support bushings. Started out with the "correct" ones for a '67, then went to the later design. Ended up sectioning them to get the height I wanted. If the fender gap looks good with little or no shim in the core support, I'd probably cut down the rubber washer between the core support and the frame and call it good. As far as I can tell, there's nothing sacred about core support bushings other than making sure they don't shift around after finding the sweet spot. I've seen stacks of washers, shims and all manner of evil in there.
