      Default My Widebody is Competing in Haynes Manuals Online Contest

      I saw a post on Facebook a while ago that Haynes was holding a virtual competition for best fixes using their manuals. I have a couple of them for my Foxes and used them when I was putting together my '80 widebody with the V8 swap. The wiring diagrams were helpful to see which wire went where between the '92 harness and the '80 chassis. I entered the "custom car" category since this wasn't just a simple repair. They selected my car as one of the five to compete for the category.

      Thanks for all that voted for my car. I came up just short of winning, and took runner-up in the contest. It was still fun to compete again with the car in a new event.
