Fender to Core Shim

Does anyone know where I might find the special shims that go between the fender and the core support? Oh yea, 1967 Cutlass/442.

I realize that there are shims that are long and slotted. What I pulled off actually have the same shape as the core support and drop in from the top. Mine are all rusted out and are barely together. The long slotted ones fit in from the front or rear.

Thy have a vertical slot and a hole at one end, and a horizontal slot at the other end. What thickness/how many do you need?

Those are them. I was thinking 2 vert slots, but they are rusted out. I can see the way you described them. I need (2) 1/8" and (2) 1/16".....I think.
