Driveshaft loop is the one that was on the car in 1971.
Awesome

Getting the front e-cable to bend tight enough from the firewall to subframe is a challenge without the inner in place...

Car looks awesome.

The alt harness seems odd to me. Is that how they ran in '69 with the side switch from left in '67-68 ?

Nice progress. I was able to install a front cable on a '68 with the fenders installed by fishing a heavy gauge wire through from the interior side, through the hole and down the firewall. I tied the end of the wire to the leading end of the brake cable, and pulled the wire through from the interior side until the cable emerged. Not the easiest thing to do, but not terribly bad either. Good luck!

One of the best things about this project is the great people I've met in this hobby. For those members here whom I've never met, if you are attending the Nationals, please stop by and introduce yourself, I would love to meet you.
Despite my brother's tremendous help and a marathon 5 days of working well into the evenings and all weekend, the car is not done yet, but done enough to bring it out - hopefully see some of you this weekend!

5 days from paint to road is phenomenal enough. You'll have plenty of time after the show to finalize and detail.
Congrats on getting to this point, this fast.
