C2 Door props

I'm looking for chromed or stainless or aluminum door props for a C2 vette. Anyone know someone that makes them?

If your car is up on an angled display, you need door props to keep the doors open. Also effective on level ground on windy days when your doors would blow around. Thank you Ron for tip on where to find some.
