ive noticed that in a lot of posts people have a lot of trouble with the faq section, myself included. it's not like im exactly new to this site and i still have trouble yet some of you guys can pull up something with ease. any tips on makin this easier because for those who aren't too good at it? thanks and much appreciated.

 

I'm not sure I understand your problem extracting information from the FAQ. First of all, it is a project I have been working on for a couple of years now, and I am still changing it and adding information to it as members submit articles and suggest already written tech articles. I do agree that I have to continue to place like articles together so that it is more efficient when members want to access information. I am still working on that aspect.
Eventually, I will have an engine, interior, rear end, etc. section set up so that it will be easier for all to easily find the information they are looking for. Understand though. This is not a paid position. This MF classic site was only established a few years ago, and has rapidly progsressed to one of the top 10Mustangsites on the internet.. I can guarantee you that you will not find a more comprehensive FAQ section on any other classic or vintage Mustang site than this one. If I have not put it on here, then it has not been presented to me. If you have suggestions for organizing or adding to the FAQ section, please email me. Your suggestions are most warmly welcomed.

 

We've had that FAQ for years now? I remember Me and another member on here was the ones who suggested that thing A long time ago. I can't remember for the life of me who it was though.

 

ya i remeber too that we were gonna do sub sections on the faq such as engine, suspension, exhaust, etc stuff but that was awhile ago

 

only thing about the faq id like to see is changing it to like longlive said making some links easyer to find

 

How about a section like "How to store your Mustang, and not end up with a Rustang" or"Car storage for dummies".It should discuss such things as humidity levels, fluids, gas breakdown, battery, paint, rodents, dryrot, tire pressure, how often to start to keep everything working, protective coatings, covers, etc. I hate to see these cars breakdown after so much work has been put into them. Last week I done a post on this subject, but nobody could give me theanswer I was looking for (although there were some good ideas and some off the wall). Fortunately,after doing some research, I found most of the answers I was looking for.The good thing is itcan be donemore economallythan I ever thought.The old saying is"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure".Well, in this case, "An ounce of prevention in worth the price of a dehumidifer".

 

Write it up Mike, and I will get it in there.

 

the only improvement i could see is to categorize the FAQ, so that you have:
- engine
- body
- all reference such as what part came with what car and Vin numbers, dataplate decoding and all that. built in options, colours and you know what.
what engine size do I have
- technical articles: how to replace/repair (for all the cowl vent articles, brake swaps and so on)
- electronics

toughly like that

that an idea ... ?

 

Yeah, I think I know how to catagorize everything, it's just finding the time.

 

Glen,
I thought retirement meant that time was the thing you had plenty of!!
