I agree with your concerns regarding safety, that is one reason I would probably never do this type of project (along with lack of time, money, and skill :) A 2200lb kit car is never going to be as safe as the donor Jetta, but then again neither is a motorcycle, and plenty of people choose to ride those. I would think that many of the issues could be mitigated with reinforcement and rollbars.
Regarding execution, check out his background (founder of Factory Five racing, a well-respected kit car mfg that produces most of the cobra replicas you see). No guarantees this project will be successful, but he def. has the track record.
