There is no manual... There wasn't one on my Jeep either although I could get a third party shop manual if I wanted. Like was mentioned earlier, every once in a while someone threatens to make one but never gets motivated enough to follow through.

Start tracing wiring now in your spare time.

By the way, mine is one of the Shelby CSX carbon fiber cars too. The body is flawless. I think the HST guys spent a lot of time trying to get these ones right.

From the period of time, I'm guessing yours was a fairly late production car. At the time I got mine in Jan, 2009 there were supposedly only 6 CF cars. Two of them are in the LA (Latin America) series and may have been the first ones but I can't confirm that. In any case the CF cars were only produced by HST International. HST went out of business about a year ago. Shelby American rescued their molds which were also used to make some portion of the Shelby Fiberglass cars. Without getting into an argument of whether HST or HiTech made the best glass cars, I will stand by my claim that my CF roller is one of the best looking rollers I've ever seen be it anyone's fiberglass or even some of the aluminum ones.

As for the shop manuals I've wished I had them. Even more so I wish I had a build sheet so I could find out exactly what components were used to build it. For example when my clutch master bought the farm a manual would have made it easy to get the proper replacement. To their credit, the Cobra guy at Shelby American answered the question right off the top of his head quickly. So make use of them. Start with Gary Patterson. Maybe if they get enough calls they'll realize they will save time by producing documentation

What color combination is yours? Mine is British Racing Green (the code is Jag paint) with Sunburst Yellow (which is some Mercedes paint code).

I hope you will drive it like you stole it.

Yes, we need some pictures.

Cheers,
Tony
