I had to go back and rewatch one of my favorite California Kid videos on You tube.

If you look real close starting at 3:50 you can watch the engine magically transform from a small block Ford (not available in 1958) to a small block Chevy and back again.

He's taking basic training at Fort Jackson outside of Columbia, South Carolina. After boot he goes to Fort Lee south of Richmond, Virginia to learn how to weld. I think that is great. Once he becomes proficient in welding maybe he can help Ian put the Mustang back together.
I am truly blessed as I have 2 grandsons and my oldest daughter on active duty and my youngest daughter spent 6 years in the US Navy as a Corpsman.
