I had the same issues. I had cut out and fiberglass the area around package shelf that is supposed to set on the frame once I thought I found a level point. I then shimmed the trunk area with a delrin type material that was off of the frame. The front of the trunk area did touch the frame but the back was off by almost 1/2".

I really wish there was a forum here that CMC/Streetbeast owners could commiserate.....

As a Street Beasts Owner, beginning my second year on my build, if it's wrong on one Street Beasts, it's wrong on ALL OF THEM!

I have looked at countless pictures and websites and have found if somebody has a problem, I know I have it too. They may vary in how complicated to solve, but they can be solved.

Here are a couple of guys that are currently building a Street Beasts Cobra and every problem they have had, I have it too, but not to the same degree: http://[URL="http://www.okieguys.com/"][/url]

They have plenty of pictures and how they solve problems. Larry even answers e-mail.

I keep waiting for Flying Earl or somebody to create a Street Beasts discussion group. Most of us don't want to admit we have a problem. We could start out like: Hello, my name is John and I'm a Alcoholic, err Street Beasts Owner and need help.

I'm thankful for the posts on Club Cobra too: we just need more.
