One of the things we mid 70's afficianados do is "tuck" the energy absorbing bumpers in an inch or more.

I've done a couple variations on my Chevelle, either by gutting the shocks and reusing the tubes (with the steel bumper) or presently using 1/4" aluminum flat stock to reposition the fiberglass bumpers.

Makes a big difference in the overall appearance.
