Very nice work!  I wish I had the cad skills.  I have a question:
I have broken my back 2 times on dirtbikes so when laying out my buggy, current and past, I reclined the seats to help prevent further damage to my back.  I don't try to jump my buggy at least no more than say clearing a ridge.  I don't go out looking for a huge jump.  It looks like most seats in these buggy's have the seats mounted pretty much flat?
You smell that?

Very nice!  Lots of work went into that.  Prepare for many people wanting plans. ;D

Just bring dollars.............. ;D   actually I wouldn't release any kind of plan till the prototype is tested and proven.  Anything less would just not be right.  When the plans are available they will extremely high quality cad drawings.  Lets just say NASA quality drawings  ;D

I agree on the point of no rules.  Just curious if you were goin to mount them flat or with a little recline.  It looks like they will be flat.

Fantastic looking work!  Tremendous progress.

I'm confused?
Doesnt someone own the rights to the original baracuda?
You took thier design and made it your design but with an extra seat.
Can you sell plans?
Dont get me wrong,I'm not a fan of the original baracuda,but yours is cool as hell!

Good points Lance.  It looks great and will be a good build thread.  I like to see how others go about building a buggy and pick up tips along the way.

Looks Awesome Lance! I wish the plans were available when I started my build cause my daughter has been inquiring about where her seat is. You'll probably be done with rev 2 before I complete mine! LOL

What are you going to call it?
If you remain calm while everything around you is complete chaos... then you probably haven't fully understood the situation!

I would place myself in the list of folks that would be the first to defend intellectual property rights.  I have the lawyer bills to prove it. 

In my mind this more than qualifies as a suitable deviation from the plans to be considered original.  Heck, the biggest problem I have is the use of the name "barracuda." Even that is somewhat clever in "barra2uda."   

Lots of original thought went into the design.  Congrats.
