Another new Roadster Owner

I am the owner of two red 1967.5 1600 Roadsters. I think I have a whole car between the two. Well almost. I am missing the dash wiring harness, but I am trying to make one. The schematic for the 67.5 does not show the four-way Flasher switch and I have never seen the routing of the wiring harness.
I bought a dash from one of the members here and some others have offered. I just have to figure out what I have and don't. Here is the list. I am putting pictures in the members gallery. I don't know which one to make the parts car though.

Steve

SPL311-11515
1.6L
Weber carbs
5-speed (I think)
Ashtray (any one seen one of these)
PO cut the heck out of the rear compartment seperator, cowl supports, and kick panels.
PO installed a Mustang II radiator on an angle and cut the front frame cross member out.
PO cut the dickens out of the dash.
Rust in the right rear quarter and the right front inner fender torque box.
No dash or engine room wiring harnesses.
A few dents
Hardtop

SPL311-13362
No motor or transmission.
PO started a frame off restoration in 1997
Frame has been cleaned and painted.
Body has rusty floor pans.
The whole body appears to be covered with a coat of bondo.
Soft and hard tops
Partial engine room harness; complete fuse box though.
No dash or dash harness.
New a-arm bushings, ball joint rubbers, frame rubbers, spring bushings...
Radiator.
All the parts that I have were bagged and tagged by the PO. (Thanks)

Based on the description, I'd go with restoring the one with the good frame (13362), and take body parts as necessary from the other. Judging by the S/N you have a low and a high windshield model?
A lot of parts go right over on both cars - floor boards and rockers, but a lot of others do not. I look forward to looking at your pictures.

I agree with Tom, I would rebuild the second car and take parts from the already chopped up first car. Chucks66 might have a wiring harness for you as he has a couple half year cars.

Thanks for the info. Both are low windshield cars.
