frame reinforcement

Need some advice and pictures as to where I should reinforce the frame on my 72 for road racing and the occasional trip to the drag strip. I know the motor mounts need reinforcing and am looking for advice on the best way to do this along with any other areas that need reinforcement, rear crossmember, A-arm area etc... Dont want to over kill and just weld gussets every where I think they need to go. Just go the frame back from the sand blaster and this is the last step before painting and suspension install.

Thanks
