JohnD1956 Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Oh man! What a collection! GM should give you a new Buick as far as I can see, just for the sake of it! Do you have pictures of all these cars on here somewhere? If not, now that driving season is basically done, please post some. I'd love to some of the ones you have not posted.

buick man Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Nice Collection. BTW: If you have to get into that Blue one next to the one with the car cover, where you left your house keys, how do you get into it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rob McDonald Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 SPECTACULAR, although I shudder at all the little maintenance jobs that must constantly be begging to get done. It's better for us procrastinators to ignore only one old Buick at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Well the front end had to come off for some body fastener upgrades...refixed the core support.now I can get in closer to detail the engine, wires, lines. Accelerator linkage went through the firewall without removing engine, so that is a relief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZRIV Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I guess I missed this post last year. That is one heck of a garage. Holy cow Ted! Yes definitely plenty of room to work with the clip off. Looking good! Maybe somday I'll have an opportunity to see your collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buick man Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Ted: Just curious as to the where and what you used for the engine repaint? Also was taking off the front clip all that bad or was it an easy removal? Looking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the front clip off pretty easily. It had been off for painting, some inner fender nuts needed to be replaced/welded back in - otherwise it went together pretty well too. Keep and mark all your bolts, shims so they go back where they came from! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 Not much to report for progress! My family business is expanding and we are partnering up with family owned another flour mill company to build a new mill. Our own BCA Rick Young's brother in law is involved, the company doing the concrete slip and mill installation is from Ames Iowa! So the toys have to be on the back burner while we build a 10,000 cwt flour mill. That is ~ a million pounds a day of white powder. Currently my mills make only 380,000 per day, and we need more...lots more.pictures of the 2013 winter car pack coming soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) Getting to the exciting parts, 150' tall silos getting poured with a slip form this week 3/24/2014. Keeping me out of the garage.Next year we will be milling flour -a million pounds a day -for Hot Pockets and McD's biscuits.

buick man Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Great photos but like your car storage photos what happens when something gets stuck or clogged up in one of those silos and Who gets picked to go in with the shovel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted April 15, 2014 Author Share Posted April 15, 2014 LOL David, we test and try not to get junk in the silos, but it happens! We had a silo fail and had a vacuum truck suck up most of the spill...but Danny picked up the shovel and finished the job properly.It was my job in 1976...they won't let me work that shovel any more! Unless I use it on the bankers...:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD1956 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 The 68 looks really good Ted. But, even though I know my GS had white wall tires on it when new, I can't bring myself to put white wall tires on the road wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Thank you John! The Cat Rod/// Super rare Wildcat 445 Standard shift (3 on the tree) on the column; no power steering or brakes. I think the only option may be AM radio. Standard interior 46237 - still has the original spare-blackwall. Fun to drive! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted "Wildcat65" Nagel Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 A few years ago up at a BPG event. This car was sold in Cincinnati; I responded to an ad in Hemmings only because the phone number started with 681-xxxx which is the same exchange as our mill, so it was close! Dual quad automatic Custom Convertible. I did not even know about the dual quad in a Wildcat in 1997. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
