Amt Mack Cruiseliner and R685. I absolutely hate those Mack tandem rears. No matter what I do, I can't get them together. The Cruiseliner is the worst, since the rest of the kit is as horrible as the suspension. The R will eventually get built with a single Drive once I dig out some leaf springs that look right. But the Cruiseliner...not sure when or if it'll get finished. 

Plus, I have a 51 Fleetline full custom thats been going a long time. I started it shortly after buying the kit when it came out, and it's the "Millennial" boxing lol. Its finally in paint and on four wheels, but the interior hasn't even been started.

I have a lowly few

26T pickup that just needs finishing - been building since the early 2000's - got to the stage where some parts needed to be chromed and this was before Alclad became available 

A lowboy 34 PU that got too hard - been on the go for at least 10 years

A Monogram 32 roadster with a R&D Unique chassis that really does need to be finished - but original build style now out of date so a rethink needed. This was stalled because at the time again because Alclad etc was not available

Then there is the AMT 49 Merc I chopped way back in the 80's and one or two other minor builds that got put back in teh box for one reason or another

There are others but I do try to keep the number of kits on the bench to two or three as I find it too hard to pick up the pieces and move foward

You guys are very therapeutic. I thought I had a problem for a minute there. 
I only have about four builds in the truly shelved stage.
The one that bothers me the most isn't the oldest, but one I had high hopes for.
I just wanted to make a wild custom, mostly using parts I designed and printed.
I got to a decent stage and then went blank. I still plan to finish it, but I don't know when.
Part of my issue is my workshop. Which needs a lot more lighting. I think I'll start there.
