I have been a friend of Bily Gibbons from Texas band ZZ Top for over a decade now. We share a love of guitars and cars and he has an guitar amp my buddy and I custom build for players round the place..A year or so ago on my last hangout time with the guitarist from ZZ Top, we were talking of our latest cars, Id just gotten a lexus/altezza gita and Billy was onto his second XB. a couple of years later and I myself am shoppong for a bB -as there known here in nz. and Billy took some pics of his pair of Boxes and sent them thru so I thought I'd share with you his cool customised rides.

I hope others enjoy these pics of his creations. Pete Chapouris of So-cal speed shop did the custom work on the cars.
on our last phone call he mentioned he'd also just picked up a third so he has one in each city he frequents now.
