Default T-top Stands for car shows? where to get?

Anyone know who sells these? I used to see them at events like Atlanta's big Fbody gathering. Looking for a set for an upcoming show in May.

For those of you who don't know what im talking about, they are metal rods that hold the t-tops up like a Gull Wing Door allowing you to keep them on the car but give the judges a great view of the interior.

Thanks for any assistance.

My buddy made some for his car, i'll ask him him if he still has the plans for them. He works at a plant that has a machine shop so it was pretty easy for him to make them, I don't know if you have access to a machine shop, if you don't i'm sure he'd be willing to make some up for ya. Let me know.
