I would say that was the remains of one of Jimmy Colthups cars. He ran under the name "Jungle Jim" for many years starting out with a Customline in the 60's.The Colhtup Boys came from CHURCHILL I think.

Welcome aboard Jim. I am sure you will be able to add to many of our history posts and maybe find some old names in there you know. I will move this post into the history section.

If Jim could post some pics of his 38 Chev Coupe, the chassis and suspension is absolutely amazing.
