The honey wagon farm

Appreciate all the help from the members. I think the best option is to box in the existing frame add some existing supports rather than purchasing other frames, and which I’d have to weld in anyway. I’ve been advised that a Ford bronco rear end 1990 to 1992 would be the best ratio to support the Hemi. If there is any feedback out there let me know.

I meant to write Ford explore and I don’t know why I typed Ford Bronco, my mistake. Thanks for recognizing the difference.

At last I’ve completed the gathering of all the missing parts to begin my Hot Rod. 1938 coupe. Finally got Headlights, Stands and Headlights all the chrome even the butterfly in the front grill. Acquired two 332 in.³ hemi engines from a 1954 and 1956 De Soto. I was able to purchase both cars complete at a minimum of cost. My question to the forum is it better to block and fit my existing frame to except the Hemi and new rear end or search for a Ford ranger or S-10 frame complete.

No that’s a little bit out of my league. Actually I’m going to install a small hemi 1950 from a Chrysler imperial and keep the body as original as I possibly can with the dashboard and gauges but engine and trans going to be a hemi with a four-speed.

Finally able to respond as a new member had trouble loading pictures then very busy shopping for parts located my dashboard headlights and stands and I’m ready to rock ‘n’ roll Hoochie Koo

Well, The Honey Wagon Farm was named because I was a bee keeper and my father who use to build sail boats in Detroit retired building carriages and western wagons, and martin bird houses for front lawns and gardens. They were sold at traders markets and nuseries. I had a woodshop and he answered the phone “ The Honey Farm” and I corrected him by saying, “no the Honey Wagon Farm” not knowing there were different honey wagons in the county. However I get it all the time no big deal to me. From a 120 hives now down to 4 by attrition, disease parasites other global plagues.

Beautiful. Thanks. Maybe my bride will get inspired when she sees how the car looks when complete.

Thanks for the kind words. I just wish I could convince my wife to stop thinking I was stark raving mad!!

Thanks for the response. I pick up both the coupe and a sedan Wednesday of next week I will proudly post some handsome pictures of my new find. I’m doing a lot of reading on the correct combinations for my 350 hemi 5.7 going go back with the old style carburetors, I will probably keep the front end as I can just converted them over to disk breaks with a kit; but I know the rear end has got to be changed for the extra torque I have not yet come up with a good combination for that, also looking for a nice four-speed trans that will complement the hemi. You are all right. I think I’ve chosen the right site and group to help me through my venture. Thanks to you all I’ll keep in touch.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. I will probably have to lean on everyone of you for the assistance. The best benefit I have is both cars that I had purchased a 38 coupe and a 37 sedan four-door both are complete so I won’t need a lot of extra parts to restore the vehicle. Do not plan to cut and chop I plan to use the original stock front end and rear end because after doing a tremendous amount of reading I discovered that they are very strongly built and I can convert everything over from kits to disc brakes. The only change I’ll be making is I would like to put a small block V-8 Hemi for my Engine. Nothing fancy more practical just wanna build a cruiser.

Well I’m entering the project slowly and not impulsively. because I only have so many dimes to rub rub together.

Thank you

1938 Plymouth coupe arrives first week in February along with a 37 sedan just now diving into the possibilities of making a comfortable hot rod. Hope someone out there welcomes me as I’m going to need all the help I can get I have not restored or built a car in 20 years.
