Been watching this for the last couple years and I have to say this easily in my top 3 favorite builds on this site. The blend of old and new school is just awesome.

I bought a crusty 2 door bench seat for a core, then the seat cover from Legendary, and had the local upholsterer redo the whole thing. I have about $1000 into a bench seat

That's pretty cool on the adjuster, probably works great. The OE wire/turnbuckle/spring things are cheesy.
Just throwing this out there for comparison. I used a set of '80s Jeep Scrambler seats in my Duster mounted on '68 S/S style brackets. 22lbs each!
Got the seats for free, the covers were around $150 off Ebay IIRC. If you squint they almost look like they belong in there.

Looks great!! However......I’m not a big fan of the no hood look........ but I’m also not in love with the hood you have for the car. I know I’m going to get flamed big time for saying this...... but I actually think a hood with a smallish cowl scoop would look nice on it.

Also, I should add that it has been inspiring to see steady progress being made on a pretty big project....... from a definite “pile of parts” ...... to a running driving car....... with many changes and updates along the way. It was nice to be a long for the ride.
