Default Help me arrange the FAQ

I have been collecting and saving a ton of information for the FAQ section for several months now, but it is getting to be a task trying to arrange it so that everything is in order. I am not a librarian, but feel like topics need to be close together. I did some work on it today, but still am not satisfied with the arrangement. Give me your suggestions as to how I can make it a more user friendly FAQ.
On edit: If there is any information in here which is not true or is innacurate let me know and I will delete it. And, if there is some information you have you want to share, please let me know. The object is for us to have a quick reference guide for anything we want to do to our classic mustangs and not have to constantly be googling as individual topics come up. Personal experience write-ups are certainly welcome.

Thanks flat tire, but there are a butt load of other topics like replacing windshields to rear ends, disk brake upgrades and tranny swaps.

Windshields are exterior IMO. Brakes, trannies, and rear ends could me Miscellaneous?? If you send me all the stuff I could try and organize them myself (I'm usually pretty good at this stuff) . I just need to see the links and stuff so that I can think about it a lil more


>>I should probably take my ADD medicine too

How about Engine, Body, Interior, Suspension, Drive Train, Electrical and Resto mod. Some will need to be in more than one folder. Say like T5 swap should be in drive train and restomod. Turn signal switch should be in Electrical and interior.

Maybe go to a vendor site like mustangsplus and arrange it based on the main categories they have.

Good ideas. How about the generic FAQ's like how to restore your Mustang. There are some very broad topics that cover a wide range of topics all in one link. Should I just make that a separate FAQ folder? Thanks for the ideas. I will also go to some Mustang web sites and see how they have them arranged. Like I said, I am not a librarian, and neither am I a computer guru, so I will need all the help I can get. And Flat Tire. You can see all the topics in the FAQ. Take each one of them and put them into a category on paper, then scan your paper ideas and send them to me.

Glen,,,I like the idea of organizing the FAQ section for easier access. I usually scan over it weekly for any updates and have found it to be a great starting place for searching out info. How 'bout an Inline 6 FAQ section for those of us with 6 bangers? Maybe others would like to comment on this as well....thanx for all your dedication to this forum and taking care of us..
