Default HELP 75 body shims

When I took the body off my 75 vert there where no shims in place door fit on pass side had 3/4 inch gap at the rear top and 3/8 at the top front after blasting and por 15 I have droped the body back down no shims gaps are the same but the #4 passenger mount has a gap of approximately 1/4" # 4 driver is tight
not sure if I am going about this correctly but I have taken measure ments at the 3 oval cuts in the frame to the underside of the of the channel and I am off about 1/4" from level from #2 mount to #3

I believe 75 used rubber bushings, get a copy of your AIM (Assembly Instruction Manual for 75 Corvette) and verify. There definitely should be something there.
