I say enjoy life and your hobbies while you can. One day will come that you will or can not.

Back in Mo. I had a friend that was a body man, in his little one car shop. All he did was classics and did great work. One at a time! One day he found an old machine and taught himself to do upholstery and door panels. Like you, he learned to do great work!!
