Storing Front Clip

[rbruno68]

I just finished removing the front clip from my truck. I took it off intact. I have it stored in my garage in an upright position and sitting on the back of the fenders that normally face the door. It is heavier then I thought it would be. I am little worried that the weight sitting on the edge of the fenders might distort the fenders. I have set a goal for my build to take about a year to get the truck reassembled. Is that too long to leave the clip intact sitting upright with out effecting the fenders? Or, am I worried too much.
Thanks,
Rob
