My body was extremely thick and stout. I considered the possibility of the rope cutting into the body, but it is a soft, thick cheap home depot rope and didn't harm anything. I laced the rope in and out of the roll bar hoops and fender wells, so each point was only getting 50 lbs or so of lift. By the time I had the engine in, I was lacing ropes through the vents then under the edge of the body. The 2x4 passes through where the engine would be.

The front lift point is really close to the CG of the front half of the body, and the rear lift point, the rear half CG, so I didn't have much flex it the middle after cutting the door hole filler piece out. And the interior tub adds a LOT of structure to the body most other cobras lack.

Hope my idea helps. It worked so well for me that I ended up making another lift for a more recent kit car project.
