  MARSHFIELD, Mo. -- There are just a few things worse than your car breaking down. Here's one: you're a member of the military and your car breaks down while you're home on leave.  And you have to leave it where it broke down, in another state, so you can return to duty. 

  That happened to a man from Marshfield but some local people are making it right.

 There was a flurry of activity at Sound Envision on Friday.  The co-owners, Towbin Winslow and Luke Anderson, were working on a high priority audio job.

  “We’ve got a weeklong project to do in three days.”

  “We're crunchin’.”

  The job was for Army Sgt. Justin Davis, stationed near Tokyo, Japan.  His Ford Mustang Limited Edition 'Bullitt' -- his pride and joy – needs a full makeover after it broke down on a road trip in Arizona while the soldier was on leave.

  The car is traveling the country, being fixed and customized for free by volunteers like the guys at Sound Envision, who are giving it a killer sound system.  It's going to be a surprise to Davis.

  “He doesn't know what's going on but he knows it's getting redone.”

  They’re doing what they can do for a soldier who’s doing so much for us. Next, the car will be shipped off to be repainted.  The work is being rushed so it will be ready to be shown at a big car show in Las Vegas next month.

   Davis is scheduled to return home in January.
