How dangerous is this car?

he said original frame, but front had been boxed for strength.

Boxing the front frame rails was a typical upgrade on those cars when you put in a V8.  Yes it would have been better to box the whole frame, but if you don't drive it to hard it should stay together.

Use your head for something besides a hat rack & the car would be fine... Drive like an idiot & it'll kill ya....

The question "How dangerous is this Car?" Is like asking how dangerous is this gun.
I would be concerned about the Model A having no bumpers. The battery is in the trunk next to an after market fuel tank.
Originally the Model A came with a plate glass window. The steering column will act like a spear to the solar plexus in a head-on collision. I'd be more worried about other drivers. As Clint Eastwood said, "A man's gotta know his limitations".

I figured the most dangerous thing was the chassis being able to handle the power,
and the short wheel base causing instability, ie rolling over.  Reason I'm asking
is I like the looks of the car a lot. Plus, I usually stab the throttle and start thinking
about 5 secs later, which is kinda dumb.  So, a safe stable car is probably a must.

You seem to have a good understanding of your abilities and I'm here to tell you that it wouldn't take 5 seconds with your foot to the floor, for this car to get you in deep, deep trouble. Think sprint car with not as much HP and you'd be close. Not a car to be blase' about.

basically a hot rod that you can't go fast in

Oh, you could go fast in it, but you'd also have to pay close attention- all the time- to it when you were doing so. I imagine your car would be the same with a 496 in it.
