here is how mine is you may not need this much but i always say the more the better to a extent but on yours i would do them where you crawl in and i would do a x brace behind the head/seats like you see in mine thats the most important 2 on the invaders fugitives and the frame you have. this is the best i can draw with paint lol but here is the esentals you should do

and if you wanna make it super tough you can do some like on mine

its definitely not a invader or fugitive but I don't think its a bob newsome frame either, the rear cage is all wrong.
invader, fugitive and newsome are pretty much the same in the rear, invader has a wider top with straight uprights, and the floor of a newsome is wider than a fugitive but with the same roof and curved in uprights, may be a rebel frame :?

Looks like a Berrien Venture frame to me.
We've built a few years ago.
