No worries.
On the work hours... your singing to the choir here brother. Midnight carear shift worker (21 years) and there is no real getting used to it, just getting better at copeing with it. Overtime shifts come in 8 hour blocks, never shorter, never longer. Do 2 or 3 of those a week while watching kids, cooking dinner, etc... around the house and some people wonder how I get things done on a car.
Theres an old saying, "No rest for the wicked."
Junkyards around here (N.Y.) and in general in the U.S. tend not to keep cars to long. There are a few J-yards that do and theres a very limited speciality junkyard group that will cater to old cars. And they know what they have. Prices are mostly fair enuff for parts not so in demand, like a T-Q, but metal, interior, etc.... can be just slightly less than new repop of any grade stamping.
