Sounds like an interesting car, I for one am anxious to see some pictures.
Rebodying undoubtedly alterned the original wiring, but new OEM-matching wiring harnesses are readily available from several sources, so no problem there though some alteration may be needed. Also all the OEM window glass was just plain flat safety glass so unless the conversion entailed curved glass (pretty damn unlikely in 1937), glass is also easily available; some suppliers have patterns and if an altered window you may have to cut to fit. Stock stainless steel trim is a mixed bag, some is reproduced and some you may have to go fishing for. But then that's the fun isn't it?
Just as an aside, I've always thought that the first American production car to use curved safety glass was the 1934 Chrysler Custom Crown Imperial (Airflow) of 1934 (which I guess really is hard to call a "production" car). Anyone have info to the contrary.
