Although I've seen plenty of the get that POS Holley, Edelbrock, et al, carbs off of there and get the Autolite that came with it (never mind the fact that the engine itself may be far from stock) but have yet to see anything along the lines of get that POS Autolite off of your stock engine and put on a throw-me-down double pumper Holley.
I will certainly keep that in mindfuture postings.

A couple more
With respect to topics that might better fit into a separate forum
Probably most of the suspension swap discussions would fit there as well. They all 'work' somewhat differently than OE (particularly the rear), and generally require different spring/shock/sta-bar tuning to work properly. In the rear, I'm talking about 3-links, torque arms, laydown coil spring sort of stuff here, as opposed to different leaf springs. IRS is a given. There has been talk of a DeDion, and at least one oddball street rod kit. Up front, there are tubular control arms, Mac struts, Mustang II-based swaps,etc. Several kits already exist, and others are still under development. These threadscan get rather heavy on theory.
Extensive chassis mods probably belong there as well. These tend to be one-of-a-kind or extremely limited production. If you're even thinking along this line, you should know that you're way past simple bolt-ons and standard-ish rebuilds. It might be a coin toss, but tranny swaps that require lifting the tunnel probably qualify here, as the tunnel is a major structural element in these cars, particularly in the convertibles.

So then why don't we have a concorse section for those who want to go strickly OEM. OEM subforum where people can find information and ask specific questions relating to OEM parts. And leave the current section the way it is for all general sort of questions?
The majority of people want to perform upgrades to brakes and other safety upgrades. Then there are the people who want to go show car OEM style.

Instead of:
Classic Mustangs (presently one mod for all)
or:
Stock and Restomod (as suggested in this poll, with two different mods)
or:
Stock and Modified (my original suggestion, with two different mods)
how about:
Classic Mustangs (as it is now except with a new moderator)
with a sub-forum for concourse/OEM (moderated by Glen)

RE: Restomod and Classic separate sections vote
You guys can't just basically demote Glen because he can be aggressive about what he believes in. By saying that you are taking a low blow, insulting his moderating skills and saying he should be gone.

I stick outta the threads when heat starts to pick up or I get the tail end of it. I don't know what Soarings stand is on stock vs. non-stock but it sounds like he is all for stock cars. With an OEM subforum we wouldn't need a new moderator. He can mod both, like said previously he's knows alot about mustangs. If the owners of the site decide to get a new mod then its their decision. We have no right to choose who, what and where people mod.

Jim - Agreed. We're starting to drift from the original topic a bit.
And the art of compromise is that everybody gives a little in order that everybody wins.
Jim - This topic has been moving too fast* for me to acknowledge that you were probably right about "equal footing", and that I probably reached a bit too far with my phrasing. Would you agree with "reasonably equal footing"?.
* see what I mean

Good grief, bitching, bitching, bitching, lol.
Hey, Glen rubbed me the wrong when when I first started here (he hates my "restomod" seats), but now I love the guy, yes, he's a cranky ol' Texan, but I'm a crazy ol' Californian, so we are all even now.
