1969 Starcraft Chieftain Restoration

[Alpheus]

Well this is the start of my restoration and so it begins with the adventure of bringing her home. I am off to Philly at 3am and I will be posting throughout the day of my progress. I hope all goes well, but I have brought along a full set of tools and an extra hub for the trailer just in case. I have also upgraded my AAA coverage to the RV and trailer plan. I think I have all my bases covered.

I'm North bound and down...

Just stopped in Delaware for coffee. All is well, hubs are staying cool and the tires are holding air.
