I am thinking about adding reinforcing tubing to my front trunk/shock tower area and would like to see what you have done to your cars.
Where do the tubes need to be located?
I would like to keep the stock gas tank but if I have to notch it here or there it isn't the end of the world.
Also the radiator shouldn't really be a huge concern, I can mount it anywhere.

I am thinking something like this but in the front, not full tube chassis but more tube, less sheet metal.

Here is how it looks now.

Thanks for the help!

Here's what my car looked like in the early stages. Braces came down from bulkhead tying into a bar across the A-arm mounts. A mount for the fuel cell was incorporated into it too.
