If you're not interested in going back to stock, the Aero is easily customuzed. With the relatively flat, wide floor, using a modern seating arrangement is easy. For the door and window handles, any 50's make of car with square post mount will work. Chrysler stuff is real close. As for headlights/parking lights/tail lights, all are unique to the Aero, however, you can use 1951 Kaiser parking lights on your car as they're a close match.
The hood latch is also unique to the Aero.
Keep an eye on ebay as parts for these are more common than one would think.

I was in Longmont, CO last month and talked to Steve Tebo 303 525 5303, who has 4 '52, '53 Willys Aeros, all stoed indoors, needing restoration, and lots of Aero parts, all in good shape. He might be willing to sell what you need. Good luck.
