Welcome to the forum. Never let your age be a restriction. You only have a few years on me and the "end-of-fun" is nowhere in site. Cuts, scrapes and burns take a little longer to heal but throw a daub of grease on it and keep going.
I hope you share your own experiences as everyone learns something new and simple mistakes can be a reminder for even the most experienced.
Once I get my '25 Ford Touring back on the road, I have a long list of projects. A 57 Silver Hawk, 48 Hudson, 56 Lincoln and a 56 Studebaker truck are near the top of the list.
