Category: Lake District National Park

Located in England, many large lakes give this park its name but that’s not all that is touted here: It’s almost-mythic mountains are both celebrated and feared. Here are our trail stories from England’s Lake District . . .

“You come up with some stupid ideas, but this — ” and he pointed in the direction from where we had come, “has to be the stupidest.”
This is what Andrew had to say to me as we were stuck in the middle of our most terrifying hike yet. Here we took to England’s almost-mythic mountain, Helvellyn.

Y’all, look at our super sexy engine now! 📸 Y’all, look at our super sexy engine now! 📸

What you don’t see is how much the black, silver, and blue colors lifted our spirits — Andy says differently, but there is often little gratification working on classic vehicles. What instead happens is you return to work on the same stuck part or the same broken piece, knowing all too well that day will not render success… but you have to go anyway. “Maybe tomorrow,” you encourage yourself… but that one job always leads to another… and another until you’re often rundown and too tired to celebrate once success does happen. 

Don’t get me wrong — The high level of excitement cannot be compared when you get an engine that didn’t start finally running or those brakes that failed working… but there is also something magical and powerful in simply a new coat of paint. Maybe it’s the instant gratification (which is rare), maybe it’s the glossy colors, or maybe it’s the bigger picture — We’re getting closer to finishing off our mechanical overhaul, so behind these pictures, there was (finally) a large amount of celebrating!

Our paint work continues as I clean and primer bef Our paint work continues as I clean and primer before Andy paints the power steering pump, pulleys, dip stick, and fan. This means we are bringing out the silvers, blacks, and original Chrysler blue to make our Chrysler/Dodge V8 engine shine.

With a good portion of our engine bay painted, we’re moving forward with those paint cans to take apart our engine. From the engine itself, valve covers, manifold, fan, power steering, pulleys, dip stick, and more, we’re giving the primers and paints a good shake… we cannot wait to show you how this all turned out!
