In this video, Justin Arias recounts the extraordinary story of how he rediscovered his grandfather's record-setting yellow '37 Chevy race car with the help of his friend Christian and the automotive community. The car was built in tribute to their late high school buddy Kenny Bigelow, who was killed in a wreck in his '37 Chevy at El Mirage on October 21, 1951. The car was sold in 1957 and sat in a backyard in Long Beach, CA, for over 50 years. It was rediscovered by Justin Arias in 2023 and is now in the process of being restored.

The video follows Justin Arias as he buys the car and relocates it to his garage. Along the way, he learns more about his grandfather's racing history and the significance of the car. The documentary is a fascinating look at the history of hot rodding and the importance of family history.
