It's basically as safe as a stock 74 vette, slightly safer because of the more rigid frame.
Stop pretending you have anything like a street car and just get a proper fuel cell and fire Halon supression. Neither are all that expensive and will greatly add to safety, as well as the resale value of the car. You might also want to replace the nails and anything I welded. . . .
