Hood hinges spacers

[heavy71chevy]

I put new hood hinges with new springs on my 71 Chevelle and can't get the hood to line up the way it should be. I'm thinking I need to put a spacer or shim between the hinge and the fender. I haven't been able to find any so far. Does anyone know where I can find some spacers(shims) or something that would be acceptable to use?

Thanks.
