It’s a Cobra kit (427?) that was purchased from Hi-Tech Motorsports in Tempe Arizona, probably around 1999 (?fnf) and never assembled. We want to assemble it, but don’t have any documentation to guide us. What references exist (or ever existed) that can describe how to put this kit together?

I know Hi-Tech went out of business around 2002, but I’m hoping someone on this forum has an old Assembly manual, diagram, or something that could give us a clue, or knows who we should talk to.

You probably need me to be more specific about exactly what kit it is. Can anyone tell where to look on the kit’s parts/frame for identifying numbers or features that will help me positively identify this kit more precisely?

Thanks

You can explore online archives and databases that store documentation and manuals for various kit cars. Websites like GT40s.com or the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine may have archived versions of Hi-Tech Motorsports' website or other relevant resources that could contain assembly instructions.

It's not much different from building an ERA, CCX, Kirkham or CSX Cobra!
In fact, look for Kirkham builds or people repairing a CSX, while you study a manual from ERA or Contemporary.

Nothin complicated about those cars. Almost self-explanatory as you go along.
