Tut Tech 4 Seater

[Tut]

I am building this buggy for a buddy of mine.
He wanted a version of my style buggy but able to take his young boys with him.
So the back will be set up a little bigger for 2 small boys to ride in.

I made the car plenty big in the front as my buddy is taller than I am and long legged so I wanted him to be comfortable.
This is a play car and will come out and watch us race at best. The rest of the time it will be for him and his sons.

It looks like the car will be about 14.5 feet long over all with a 30inch rear seating section for the boys.
I was able to climb in with a big wide sand seat and they will get small child seats instead or maybe even a small bench seat so I know they will fit.

I did the pan a little differently as I wanted to make sure all the seats were going to fit in and have enough leg room etc. so I did those first and then added in the center bars instead of the other way around. Making all the bars just run across the floor was much easier for all the moving I was going to be doing.
Here is what I ended up with.


So as this is a friends car and I can experiment a little and just try stuff I did the old tape trick to see where I wanted bars etc. so you can see one of my ideas here.


OK here are some shots with some seats.. these are sand extra wide and big boy seats so don't pay to much attention to them. Plus as said earlier the back will get smaller either kid seats or at least normal size seats.







The floor space is just big enough for my size 11 shoes to fit in, so the boys will have plenty of room for their feet. The seat bar for seat belts etc. is just tall enough and far enough away that I don't hit knees in case I or another adult should climb in the back. Also the rear seat is almost on the ground and it will be raised up pretty tall so the back seat guys can see out etc. and have more leg room by being in a more sitting position.

The car is 42 inches wide at the bottom pan and 55 inches wide at the mid rails. The sides of the car is 22 inches tall.

Well that is all for today. I will post more as soon as I get the roof and the back worked on.

By the way I hope to see some of you out at the Powder Puff race please come join us and enjoy a great weekend this weekend.

Thanks for looking,
Tut.
