How to prepare for a car show (HIN)

So I have been searching all over the interwebs for a site that sells displays, wheels stands, and other accessories for a car show. I can't seem to find a central place to buy these things. Does anyone have advice on where to find stuff like:
  • Battery operated LED spotlights
  • Wheel stands (the thing that you bolt to your lugnuts to hold up the car and show off the wheel well)
  • Bollards
  • Car info Displays

If anyone has any other advice on showing and custom displays, please post!

Thanks

Go to any local sign shop. They will make a display for your no problem. Quite simple actually. Usually just one long piece of 1/8 steel with plexi attached to the top. Your tire provides support. You can also buy some premade from carshowdisplay.com

Example




The actual display board is easiest to creat in illustrator. Then take it to Kinkos and have them print it for you. If you cannot go to someone like http://www.superstylings.com
You send them several good pictures of your car and info and they will create one for you. I have seen alot of their work with old muscle cars, very high quality.

Wheel stands are usually all custom made. Usually need to find someone that can cut 1/4 steel and have them make one for you. Or buy one off ebay.
