It actually made contact- if you pause at that moment, you can see a short-lived trail of dust or whatever coming off the radiator inlet cowl. He started that maneuver way too low... Shocked

If it scraped the ground, wouldn't the prop be destroyed?

Possibly, unless he had a decent AoA there to make it so only the rear part of the fuselage hit... No idea how much would be required for the prop to clear the ground though Shocked

No. The intake on the P51 hangs quite low; not lower than the prop in level flight, but below the prop at the attitude it was at in the clip at the point where it makes contact.
Try pausing it- you'll see what I mean. He's just rounding out, probably pulling back a bit more than he'd need to if he had more altitude, flirting with a stall, and the A of A is quite high at that moment. It really looks to me like the belly just "kissed" the runway as it began to climb again... the telltale being that wisp of dust or whatever that appears briefly, trailing off the radiator scoop.
