I put my extra fascias in my storage unit and wanted to get them off the floor. I made arms out of some 1 x 4s by cutting them about three feet long and screwing them to a set of wooden shelves at about a 45-degree angle. Two arms per fascia. They’re very crude but they work.

I’ll see if I can get over there and get some photos.

I have one hanging from the rafters in the garage. I feel it's better than having it sitting flat on the floor.

Here's what I did. I recycled parts of some pallets to make the arms. I didn't care how the shelves and arms looked, I just needed to quickly fabricate a way to store the fascias vertically. Ideally the arms would have short vertical pieces on the ends to hold the fascias from the inside, so the arms don't come in contact with the lip of the fascias.







The way the top fascia in these photos is stored is probably the best. It's sitting on top of the vertical planks.

Knock off any corners etc on the wood or whatever.
Avoid pressure where edges of plastic hits/folds and similar issues.

If the plastic get hot or not... corners hit small points for long term could cause problems.
Plastic can warp where wood hits the plastic or areas are "heavy" w/o being attach to the car. Then can find very hard to remove any damage later.

Is sim to many front faces "droop" problems on the car for many people.
Often that's sign of missing/damaged parts holding them allowing more load aggravating the problem.

quick example...
My 87 notch front was pulled down for years because PO removed plastic and metal parts on the bottom of it.
That also cause radiator problems because missing panel force air to that.

Replacing missing parts help but permanently warp the top and edge flange where meet the hood.
