Currently my car is still in one piece, but in the future I plan on tearing it down for a rotisserie style restoration. So for future planning, does anyone have any tips for storing the windshield and rear glass during an extended (probably a few years at this rate/ pay scale) time period?

Thanks

I kept my glass under the guest room bed wrapped in a blanket, it stayed that way for nearly 18 months untouched.

With a very understanding wife, I have stored the back window for a 69 fastback wrapped in an old curtain between our headboard and the wall in our bedroom. There are actually 2 of them as I have a spare for some odd reason. My wife gets to play the martyr when we have friends over and she tells them there are Mustang parts in the house--in our bedroom no less. The side glass is wrapped in more old curtains and are stored behind my blasting cabinet. The windshield--well my advice is throw it out unless it is a really nice piece/original non-shaded piece/original script piece. My windshield was a replacement and we broke it taking it out anyway. But I would have put a new one in after all the time and money fixing the rest of the car I am not going to cheap out on a windshield.

Tell the wife it makes you feel like your in Highschool,
Making out in the back seat!
Looking out the rearwindow.

Thanks for the ideas. Sounds like it'll be ok if I can keep it out of the way. Looks like my wife will need to buy some new curtains though.
