Lew Payne has a CMC and I know he had some issues with his door fit and made some compromises. Here is his email address so you might want to send him an email. Lew's CMC is probably 10 years old but it has held up quite well.

Good Luck!

I have a streetbeast and actually am taking it for inspection today. I feel your pain on the doors. It is probally the worst issue we had. I don't know where you are rubbing but the main spot we had problems with was the top of the door at the rear. What we ended up doing was actually curving the door at the roll back towards the front of the car a little and building (glassing) the body towards the front . It completly fixed that problem and really looks nice. In regards to other areas, my only suggestion would be to sand back the body where the rubbing is occuring and repaint. I believe the problem lies in the door hinge itself, it is very loose. Eventually I probally will use a factory 5 hinge and redo the doors. My car has been a long process and I had the help of an actual builder (classic roadster), but now that it is done I really am happy with it. If it is worth anything, I recently had my car at the London show and I had a couple people tell me it was their favorite. Also, when a couple of the guys commented on how nice it was, and asked what kit it was, their mouths dropped when I said Streetbeast. Let me know if i can help any further. I'm in ohio, so if you happen to be close, I know I can get the help of my builder to fix your issue.

Thanks for the tip about Lew Clois, but I'm afraid his email adress is no longer valid. I tried to send a note to him but it came back as "not recognized" by the server.
Thanks anyway! If you have/get a new email for jim pass it along.
Don
