Something like this along with seam welding the area is what we did. Seam welding from the seats forward isn't a bad idea. I added roll bar gussets in the corners around the shock towers (engine side), lower arm mounting point, strut rod mounting point and sway bar brackets.

Like the ones half way down this site that go in the bottom of the outer shock tower?

Wish I could find pictures to the mods that dustyrelics did to that last clone he built. He did some serious mods to beef up the car.
I used the Pro-Motorsports (now Dr Gas) shock tower reinforcement kit, but the kit is kinda pricy for what you get (~$200).

You can see the plate that wraps around the front of the shock tower here. There's a matching plate on the back side, too.
Here's a shot of the outside brace, similar to the piece John mentioned in his post.
I don't have an image of the piece that is welded vertically where the UCA bolts, but in this image you can see those pieces at the top of the picture.
