Question Street Beast questions.(Beast owners please help)

To begin with PLEASE refrain from discouraging remarks about Street Beast cars, especially if you do not own one. I am a bit sick of hearing about the bad press that the company gets over its poor service and past problems.
If I had known about the problems with SB before I purchased one perhaps I would have gone another direction but now I own one and the wife and I both love the car. It seems fine in most aspects but there is one big problem I could use some help in figuring out. If anyone out there has a Street Beast Please help me out here if you can. The BIG problem that this car has is with the door mounting. I can not get the doors to be solid and properly allligned, and they move around on rough roads or tight turns enough to make contact with the body of the car around the doors and actually abraid the paint and even the fiberglass enough to make wear spots and remove the paint and glass where the points of contact are. Does anyone who owns a Street Beast have any experience with this type problem and how to fix it or is this problem exclusive to my car and not all Beast in general? PLEASE help me out if you know anything about this problem! I am willing to pay the professional body shop folks to get this addressed but tips on "how to address it" it would be a critical factor in having it done right.
My car was purchased already built with 500 miles on it. I have a 351ci Windsor 425hp crate engine with a T-5 world class trans. and a Ford 8.8 rear. The car was finished and titled in 2007 but I have no way of knowing when it was actually purchased since I have no histiry for the car. I do not know if the car is a "stretch" version or the older version and I would love to know that as well as where to find the cars ID/VIN numbers on the frame or whereever? Yes, I have the VIN on the Florida title but would really like to be able to find it on the car somewhere. If you can help with that I would really love it. Any information anyone could provide would be of great help and be most appreciated on any areas/issues of these cars. You Street Beast owners are the only ones who really KNOW these cars and any insights would be great.
Sincerely, Don
