Hi Joe in Canada, go for it with your ears back man, never to old, buy finished and enjoy, or restore enjoy and keep the mind and brain working ( sometimes on overtime).
I have had a 1926 REO Speedwagon for 10 years and have only just started the resto, also assisting my brother with a 27 international, love every minute I am working on them. The Reo is a big task i have a blog ( my children insisted I track it with a blog) reoresto.wordpress.com have a look and happy restoring.
