My challenger has been apart for 3 years now. Not even close to being finished. I wanted to have this car done before I hit 30 and its not going to happen. Just had a kid, working two jobs and building/restoring two vehicles.
Three years for me so far... My plan was to be done before I hit 50. I have another 2 years to go and I should actually be done some time this year!

just in time for the AZ heat (it was 110 out on Sunday when I finally had everything ready to fire it).
I'm in the same boat. I had REALLY hoped to be done before the heat kicked in. Just wasn't in the cards:(
