You've got a lot of years to go to qualify as the worlds slowest builder.
I know of a few early RV-4 kits still being worked on.

FWIW, I had the exact same kind of corrosion worms form on both leading edges of my wings while it was parked in a hangar, ready to fly, and I was gone for about 6 months, (Seattle area). I hit them lightly with scotch bright and sprayed them with Corrosion X at the time. This was nearly 6 years ago and they never gotten any worse during that time. It is finally in the paint shop now... The point being that they will probably not get any worse if you just give them a little treatment.

So Don.................. are you saying that your build is not a "project" but is actually a "lifestyle'?
