PROJECT WHITE WAGON - CPTV'S VIDEO SERIES, PT. 5
Follow along with Project White Wagon, CompetitionPlus.com's longrunning effort to build an old school Modified car to run in today's modern Super Stock. Project White Wagon is a modern day version of the 1964 Chevy II wagon driven by Gene Fulton in the 1970s and captured three world championships. The starting point of a basket case wagon, hidden in a junkyard for over three decades, makes this project a continual challenge.

The starting point of a basket case wagon, hidden in a junkyard for over three decades, makes this project a continual challenge.
The latest edition of the exclusive CompetitionPlus.tv Project White Wagon series covers the process of making easy transmission access. Also, in today's Fulton Flashback, project inspiration Gene Fulton explains why he buried the wagon behind his shop.
This is Part 5 of the video series, and Part 19 of the overall series.
Working on the roll cage
This episode shows detail in assembling the roll cage within the wagon, which we are planning to race during the 2014 season. Go behind the scenes with TL Race Cars' Tom Lukans as he explains the cage we are installing.
This episode features the construction on the other side of the tailgate including the Aeromotive fuel cell with fuel pump and the Lithium Pros battery. Gene Fulton, in this edition of the Fulton Flashback, talks about the unique battery box in the original car.
