On my list of ancillary parts is a pair of saw horses to support the hood when it is not on the car.
I started with some brass C channel and rectangular box stock. I milled the box stock into another size of C channel for the tops. I soldered the perimeter of the A frame together. (As fun as making them fold up seemed at first, their job is to show off the car part safely first.)
Next I cut the angles for the bottoms of the legs.
