Oh yeah -- go!

Your standards for excellence stay the same or get tighter,
but your cars get older around you -- even the roughest
old old car will pleasantly surprise people. People can tell
'works in progress' for the most part, especially other old-car
people. (The clueless, well there's no help for them anyways :-)

40+ years old and running is interesting all by itself. And
enough people have seen '65 1/2 Mustangs to pass 'em buy without
even noticing...
