Show car accessories...
This past weekend I participated in the World of Wheels (got 2nd place in my class - Sport Domestic...pretty proud of that!). Anyway, I have a vert and, in order to really see the interior, I kept my door slightly open. I noticed that alot of the guys that did this had stainless steel "door stops" that hooked to the door latch on the door and the other end to the latch on the body...it kept the door stable and you could open it any further or close it.... Where do you get these? I wanted to ask but kept forgetting and then the show was over! 
I thought about making one...one 57 T-bird used a coat hanger 
....Any help would be GREATLY appreciated...I had to keep people from "closing" the door ....

I know which one's your talking about I have a set! They were given to me by a friend that displays his C4 at a lot of the "World of Wheels". I don't have a picture but maybe I can get one this weekend to post.
