Just a car and a half garage that gets pretty damn cold

Scrap yards around here don't have anything older than the early 90s/late 80s...I had thought of a front seat out of a Durango or some such, but I decided I could recover the interior myself by re-learning how to use a sewing machine, making a pattern, and making a new custom seat cover out of black corduroy.

Just like TVs or any restorative work, when you work on them you need to remember that many years down the road after you're long gone someone in the future will curse you or thank you for doing things the way you did.
