RE: Parting out Mopars?

[ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I stripped a 65 Coronet 500 a couple years ago and cut the front/rear 
glass out with a razor knife. Put a thick blanket on the trunk and laid 
the winsheild down flat on that. Came out 2 days later and the glass was 
split down the middle from it's own weight. I found out you have to 
store those kinds of glass on their edge.
