I built a frame work from 2" channel iron leaving one side open so I could roll it over the frame of the Cobra. Used ratchet straps on each wheelwell to lift the body of the frame. I could remove the body by myself in a matter of 15 minutes. Use 2 starps per wheelwell so you don't run out of lifting ability. Used casters on the bottom so it would roll around. After the body was off the frame I set it on sawhorses to take the stress off the body. It worked great as you need to take the body on & off a number of times as you assemble the car. Check my album and there should be some pictures where you can see how it works.
