Radiator support..lightening,removal,tubular,pics??

Winter is here so it's time to make some improvemants. Started looking at moving the fuel cell to the frt. so I started looking at the radiator support. Anyone have some pics of their lightened or tubular radiator support? I run gas and have the factory radiator right now.

What size tube is that holding the radiator? I'm surprised you don't have tubes from the strut towers to the frame.

Hmmm. Cut the frame horns off then weld in some DOM for front cell protection. I never thought of cutting the frame back but I like the idea.
