Default I think it actually is a FIBERFAB
I went back and looked at the body details again. I'd decided it wasn't a CMC body because it doesn't have the funny rounded hood scoop or the deep, molded in vertical lip around the hood opening and the rear cockpit areas. However - the placement of the fuel filler, the interior of the trunk and the shape of the rear fenders do indicate that it is very likely a Fiberfab. There are some Fiberfab chassis cues as well, but the fuel tank and rear suspension areas definitely look modified.

Search for pictures of Fiberfab and CMC Cobras for further confirmation. Wiki info here:

EDIT: hers's a link to a pretty comprehensive gallery of a Fiberfab Cobra:
