how about "Benbow and Fullerton" these guys built the original chassis i think for "T Rat" they had a 421 injected pontiac in it orginally and i think it went to the Stones...although i stand to be corrected.

You are correct Geof and here's a pic of it from the UKDRN galleries taken in '71 the year before the Stones bought it and swapped that Pontiac for a Rat http://www.ukdrn.co.uk/newpictures/CBC/pages/CB57.htm

As a kid we wanted to name our first car ,eggs chips beans and two slices,,, but francis parker of the ndrc explained that,really we couldnt have it because it took up two lines on the programme which complicated things etc etc :( so we said ok so we called it black panther express after the murderer that was killing people and putting them down drains.We was only 16 ,we didnt think it was funny ,we just didnt think? Thank god as we get older we see things from a more sensible angle.
