The best luck I've had is to hang them on hooks on my shop walls (indoors) if
you have that kind of space. If you have to lay them on the floor, don't
stack them on top of each other. Try to support areas that will likely sag by
placing something of appropriate size underneath for support. If at all
possible,
store them in a location where the temperature is controlled. Heat (and to a
lesser extent cold) is the enemy. Never leave them outside in the sun and
weather for any extended period of time.
It's the molds that require the most care. Thin body parts will regain most
of their shape when reattached to the car and left in the sun. When heavy molds
take on a bend, it's tough to get them straightened back out. Store
individual mold pairs fitted as a unit, A + B nestled together. That way
there's less
chance of compromising the mating surface and it limits deformity. Over time
all fiberglass body parts and molds will deform to some extent no matter how
they're stored. It's just a matter of limiting how much.
