There is no doubt that the loops would help reduce the risk. I still like to keep the flammables away form the rotating assembly but you should be OK.
$150 more. I was never arguing that Fuel Safe isn't expensive, just that you get a lot more than people think.
Strategic placement of 2 safety loops would greatly minimize the possibility of a broken drive shaft being able to reach the top of the trans tunnel. I understand it is still a possibility. I am going to crawl under the car at some point and make some measurements to see how safe I can make it.
This is going to be a street car, where would you sugest I run the fuel line ? I don't like the fuel line too close to the ground and I definately don't want to run it in the stock location because that is just plain unsafe.
I'm not planing on having my drive shaft fail on me but I guess no one ever plans on having it fail right ?
Where would you sugest I run the line ? Again, this is not going to be a race car, its going to be a street car. Also, I was planing on using SS hard line, not braided line. What are your thoughts on this ?
For a street car you will be just fine with the stock placement.

No way. The stock spot that runs under the frame rail ? That is totally unsafe. Most classic Mustangs I have seen have had the fuel line at least somewhat damaged in the spot where it comes down under the frame on the drives side. Mine was damaged so bad the PO cut the tubing and replaced it with rubber hose.
I have considered using through the frame fitings to eliminate this low point but I still don't like the factory position for runing the lines. I need to crawl under my car and re-asses this hole thing. I want to run new lines but this is starting to look like a headache
