I don't know squat about lifting the body on a Cobra (mine was assembled when I bought it), but I have lifted the body on my Corvette. Corvette convertibles are weak in the mid-section like Cobras appear to be, so the recommended procedure is to run a cable with a turnbuckle from the front door hinge to the striker plate. Tighten the turnbuckle before you lift the body and it will help keep the front and rear parts of the body from drooping. When we lifted the body on my Corvette coupe, we simply gathered six guys around the body and lifted. Most of the weight was carried by the fenders directly above each wheel. Good luck.
