Slick 60's

I've got a line on a 2 original windshields still installed in wrecked Slicks at a yard in PA. They're in OK shape, a few scratches, no cracks or chips though. I can have them for $40 each. I just need to cut them out and get 'em home (about 100 miles.)
I'm trying to find out if anybody has any experience with this. I've heard horror stories about old windshields once they're freed from their frames. Once they're out of the frames what do I need to do to safely transport them? Same question about storage? I've never seen automotive glass stored or transported on anything but special racks. I don't want to make a big production out of it since I'm really only looking to keep them as spares anyway.
Still, I hate to see them continue to sit out there in the yard...they really are about the only salvagable pieces left on the old hulks...sooner or later they'll get damaged. At $40 each, it's a good bit cheaper than repros.
Thanks for the help Gents!

The only thing i know for sure on storing auto glass is to NEVER lay it flat. I have made a rack using a couple pieces of plywood with some 2x4s to get it off the ground, then on the top side a couple more pieces screwed to the plywood making a slot to hold the glass upright. in the slots i just put in some pieces of carpet to hold it a little tighter and to keep it from getting scratched. glass is a pain in the butt to store long term as it takes a lot of space and theres always the chance you will bump into it and brake it.

To cut the glass out get a good utility knife and a can of WD40. Keep the blade lubricated. You can tell when it's dry. Cut from the inside starting at the top and going down the sides. Then you lift the glass up to remove it.

I drove over 200 miles with a new windshield standing up in my bed against the inner fender with some packing under it and between the glass and the fender. The spare tire rested against the bottom and I tied a rope from the front stake pocket to the rear stake pocket just to keep the glass from moving. Don't tie it tight!

Keep the glass standing up. Don't let it lay down. Get a couple of 2x4's and cut some 3/8" notches to hold the glass. You can use a handsaw. Rig up some simple frame work to keep them standing up straight. Keep the two windshields from touching.

Seems a little steep to me for used glass. If you break it you buy it I assume. For the trouble I'd just as soon buy new glass that is clear and the installer will replace it if he breaks it while he is installing it. I assume you are installing yours by yourself, but like I said, for the trouble for me, it's not worth all the hassle, time and gas and $80.
