'59 F100 windshield
I just removed my windshield and it is in pretty good condition. Has about 1/2" sealant leakage at the bottom that appears to have oozed between the glass. Not sure if anything will get that out and it should be covered with a new rubber molding.
Any suggestions on how I should store this glass? I was thinking of a rack from two 2/4's at an angle. It is across my saw horse for now but I don't think it would be good to leave it like that for a long period.

It's cool seeing someone working on the same stuff I am. Put my old windshield in the cardboard box that the new one from lmc came in. It had molded foam inside. Its up in the rafters now. I secured it against a wood framed wall on edge like you see on the glass trucks before it got here though. Just used a 2x4 screwed to the stud vertically and one underneath. I thought about doing that up high on the wall of the garage as a wall hanger.

Make sure you don't do what I did , layer it flat with edges curved up. I saw it about 6 months later with a vertical crack down middle of window. Put in attic. Store it on bottom edge vertically like it would be in the truck. Pad underneath with 2x4 beam covered with foam or carpet. The brace it in place so it doesn't move. Should be fine. I lucked out and had glass coverage even with suspended policy
