Your hunt for seat frames and cushions will be a tough one out here in the west. It is hard to find a jeep that is scrapped that did not have somebody try and "improve" the originals by cutting the frames and sticking in an old pair of buckets from a datsun or other scrapped car. As such, your either looking at repros out of the US, or finding something in the East where the Jeeps do eventually disintegrate. The repros are not cheap. There are repro bows out there, but they are generally too long to ship. You might be able to have them cut in half for shipping and weld them back together once in the barn.
If you come out to Shilo and pay me a visit, I can likely help you out on a lot of the small stuff like the wiper blades, a left fender in better shape, and a host of other smalls. It seems to me there is at least one seat frame left out at my favorite scrapyard another hour past me, but you will need a guide to find them.
It does show lots of potential, good luck with it.
