Where would the loops be situated?! What if the entire driveshaft just dropped and the loop caught it, and the driveshaft still tilted and hit a bump and than drove its way into the cabin?!?!?!?!?! What about then huh?

You position it close to the front... If it drops out, then the loop will catch it, if it dops out from the rear. The drive shaft would slide out under the car, and be someone behind you problem
The set oif circumstances you are stating are highly highly unlikely... Theres only 4 bolts in the rear and the front just slides onto the spline

BTW: Off to pick up the 'repaired
driveshaft'
How easy can it get , ??? 2 pieces of flat metal. bent 90'
2 more pieces of flat metal bent in semi-circles, clamp together, then drill 2 holes for top, and 2 holes for the bottom, then 2 holes for each 90' bent metal pieces to bolt to the floor pan. i think 2 safety hoops are required
for NHRA legal cars among other things. They don't want anything skipping out from under any car. On my mustang i once broke a front u-joint on the street, the tube that connects (EQ) the exhuast system kept the shaft from dropping. made TONS of noise.

This always happens when you do this much to a car from scratch
@Felix you are so right, its like a freaking drug you are addicted to it... Just barely barely touching the gas, the car has so much power its great, then hit the gas and its like HOLY ****
