ZZ TOP FRONTMAN BILLY GIBBONS TO STAR IN NEW DISCOVERY PILOT “ROCKIN’ ROADSTERS”

Airing Monday, February 29 at 10 PM ET/PT on the Discovery Channel

(Los Angeles, Calif.) – There is nothing subtle about the long-bearded rocker Billy Gibbons, lead singer and guitarist for the legendary band ZZ Top. One thing that Billy loves is loud rock n’ roll – and even louder hot rods. ROCKIN’ ROADSTERS, a new pilot premiering Monday, February 29 at 10 PM ET/PT on Discovery, will follow Billy’s quest to fulfill his wildest hot rod desires.

Hot rodding is not just about the cars, it’s a lifestyle. In the pilot episode, Billy reaches out to one of the top hot rod builders in the business – Jimmy Shine. Billy has known Jimmy for more than 20 years and during that time, they’ve built dozens of award-winning hot rods. When they get together, you never know what kind of car will come to life. Billy acts as the creative director, driving the vision and finding the hidden gem vehicles while Jimmy executes and makes sure it all comes together. But it’s a partnership that’s often easier said than done.

“They call Billy the Howard Hughes of the blues because he’s eccentric,” Jimmy said. “Billy has his vision and I have mine. And sometimes it can be a bumpy ride getting to the finish line.”

Together Billy and Jimmy hit the open road in an impromptu search of the perfect fixer-upper. If there is one thing Billy loves, it’s a bargain especially when it comes to cars. After an exhaustive journey into the California desert, Billy finds the unlikely car behind his vision – a rusted and dinged up 1984 El Camino. With a rock star client like Billy Gibbons, you need to be ready for anything – even when asked to build a part car/part truck roadster for a big Hollywood event just three weeks away. It’s a tight timeline, but if Jimmy can pull it off, there just might be a bigger-than-normal payoff for this master builder.

With Jimmy and his opinionated team of mechanics, it’s all hands on deck as the team scrambles to make deadline and incorporate unconventional parts Billy has collected along the way – including an old bass drum pedal. And of course, no hot rod is complete without a hidden “Billy-ism” built into the car.

With so many moving parts, will Jimmy and his crew be able to make Billy’s tight deadline and cash-in on the ambitious build? Or have they reached the end of the road with their celebrity rock star client?

ROCKIN’ ROADSTERS is produced for Discovery Channel by Intuitive Entertainment. For Intuitive Entertainment, Executive Producers are Mechelle Collins and Kevin Dill. Intuitive Entertainment’s Executive in Charge of Production is Tyson Caffo. For Discovery Channel, Craig Coffman is Executive Producer with Todd Lefkowitz as Coordinating Producer.

nothing wrong with Billy or ZZTop and the ElCamino was great , but the urgent deadline is getting old , was tired of it when Boyd Coddington did it . Didn’t show any of the work . the creativity and craftsmanship is more important to us old Mechanics than the drama .

Amen, Brother!! Everyone of these tv producers wants to create the next OCC. Give up, it’s not gonna happen. If these guys are true fabricators then show the damn work. Stop trying to force interesting characters. If a guy on the show is interesting or funny then let it happen on its own. And these ridiculous deadlines have to stop!! That’s the beauty of TV, it doesn’t matter how long it takes, nobody cares. Besides, who wants a car that was built in a week?? Not me!

Loved both Billy and Jimmie and the shop. That chic is an awesome painter!! And way to go for the shop to pull it all together and get an awesome car done.

Loved it
