My battery died and I'm locked in the Kirkham!!!!!

As you well know, writing a quality service manual is almost as hard as building the car to begin with. That's why they abandoned the effort, it was simply too difficult and the average Kirkham owner really didn't care all that much anyway.

Maybe Kirkham simply got tired from building the best Cobra on the planet.

Yes, definitely a missed opportunity, but maybe some future Kirkham buyer can take solace in knowing that there's a 300 (+/-) page book/manual that was made for Larry Ellison's Billet 427 Cobra:

Kirkham Motorsports - Leading manufacturer of aluminum bodied 427 and 289 replicas

Yep, that's really going to help when they're just trying to replace bearings and races and they have no part numbers.

You mean the bearings and races that typically have the part #'s actually stamped into the part? Those bearings and races?
