So now people don't work in the cold? (It won't be long before I'll be doing this for 4 months.) Haha

Yeah, to me there's a difference between working on one that's broken vs working on one just messing around. Cold is not an issue when something has to be fixed for transportation, but can you imagine trying to install seat covers at 15F with a stiff breeze. Not going to happen!

I agree, i do not want to change an engine or anything big. But sometimes overhere, the weather is not feeling cold dispite it -5 degrees

Definitely true! After a period of -25C to 35C a nice, sunny day at -5 with no wind feels like Spring! Plastic & rubber stuff is still a lot more brittle, but it's easy to understand your approach. Looking forward to your continuing progress with the Chevy!
