Quick and short. I am about to begin removing the front clip on my 70 and it will be down for awhile (the frame off begins!). IS there a certain direction or method for storing fenders and such? Will they eventually bend in the corners or anything under their own weight? Sorry if its a dumb Q but not sure where or how to stack these pieces or if I can just lay em down in the corner in any direction and forget about em for now. TIA.

Well...laying them across some nice cushy furniture works well, unless of course if you're married. Then you can just stand them up on end in a safe corner of the garage (like I do :D ). Fenders are pretty light and I haven't noticed any problems. The upstairs of my garage has fenders, hoods, deck lids, tail panels and various other odds and ends scattered tastefully about the room. Really adds to the decor.

Put the bench seat down BAM! couch for the new table....I like it! smile.gif

I use that foam pipe insulation, to protect the edges.It comes in 4 foot lengths and slides right on to hood edges and fenders.You can then lean hoods on there side against the wall. it also works well during reassembly,to keep nicked paint from happening.You can buy it at most lumber yards.

oops

Great idea. Thanks guys - Foam gos around the new cowl hood coffee table in the living room to prevent stubbing the toes....got it. smile.gif

Seriously, thanks. :cool:

I hung my decklid and hood from the ceiling of my garage using I-hooks and rope. They've been up there for months and haven't budged. I also floored in the attic above the garage and put the front fenders, core-support and various other parts up there. You really realize how small a two-car garage is when you start taking the car apart. Now I need to create a spot for the new air compressor... graemlins/thumbsup.gif
