way back in the day I bought the plans for the Tri-Magnum. Unfortunately I didn't have the chops or the funds to actually build it. Nowadays I doubt I'd be able to get in and out of the darned thing.
The Phoenix/Renegade was always a 'cool idea' in my book as well!

I've heard that there is a large number of unfinished Tri-Magnum projects lying around. That wouldn't be surprising, seeing the huge number of manhours needed to make a body this way. The start looks easy and it doesn't take much time to get a big thing in the middle of the workshop, but that isn't progress. Tri-Magnum builds taking several years seem to be quite common.
