Can a 1929 school bus be restored? Maybe rebuilt, but it looks far too past dead for anything but a rebuild with a couple original parts

There might have been a chance when it looked like the below photo from about 20 years ago, but now? Look at the lack of any body panels behind the cowl, that is a bad state of affairs
