Jalopy Bench & Bucket Seat Frames
Bengels Hot Rod Products

Bengel’s Hot Rod Products has been sought out to solve the needs of the hot rod industry for years. The call to build quality custom seat frames at an affordable price has Bengels very busy these days at our Southern California facility. With the first Bengel chop job on a Model T Ford in 1952 we have a long proven history as a custom car builders. Bengels knows what is involved with manufacturing quality hot rod parts. We are solving the seating issues of Rod’ers one seat at a time.

At Bengel’s Hot Rod Products each seat frame is hand built to your custom specifications or to the original OEM replacements configuration. We specialize in seat frames for Jalopy's, Classics, Street rods, and Muscle cars ranging from the early 20's through the 70's. All bench seat frames can be built with flip up bases increasing valuable space in the vehicle for storage, mounting electrical components, and other accessories. As well, the additional storage under the seat can be used for hiding things out of public view, a big plus if you have an open car. Bengels bench seats are available in reclining Full back, Split back, or Tapered split back configurations as well as offering options of arm rests, head rests, and seat sliders. Seats are delivered to the customer laced with Zig Zag no sag springs, fully painted and ready to upholster and install. While some seat frame Mfg.'s have gone to a cable operated recliner we have decided to keep the retro look and operation for our seat frames. We have found that the cable operated seat recliners have issues with the plastic components and are susceptible to degrading and breakage over time. They are available as an option but in our opinion they just look too modern for the traditional vehicles! All of Bengels seat frames are built to retain the nostalgic look of the vehicles era all the while offering the support and comfort of the modern vehicle seat.

As firm believers of giving back to the community we extend a substantial discount of 10% off of our list price to all H.A.M.B. members. It should be noted that this is a huge, huge savings when compared to our competitors pricing, and all the while offering custom built quality seat frames and superior service.

All Bengels seat frames are proudly hand built and assembled in the U.S.A. with the best materials available. Our seat frames are priced much lower than the competition to start with, add to that the HAMB 10% discount and the saving is very substantial. Get our price quote and compare so we can get busy on your ride. Glide past the others and see how Bengels can save your Ass.

I just recieved my 28 seat from Bengels. Boy, the quality is great and the price is the best ive seen. Service was fast, and I even received a call from them to be sure the seat arrived in good shape and that I was happy with it. These guys are great to deal with. They get an A+ in my book. If you need a seat, dont call anyone else but Bengels.

We just placed the seat in for fit. I love it. my upholstery guy said it was the best made seat frame he had ever seen

Brand New Product to the Hot Rod World.... Air Suspension Retro Seat Frames

We have been working on a new product for several months now with the intention of making the ultimate Hot Rod Seat Frame. We have developed a low profile air ride suspension system with an incorporated shock absorber and mini compressor to be mounted within the seat frame itself. We have been testing it in the Off Road Extreme Rock Crawling vehicles with wonderful success and I'm busting at the seams wanting to get it out for review. I'm thinking the Hamb should be the first place its seen as you guys have really been good to us at Bengels. We even decided to go with a name for the system that kinda fits in with the HAMB theme. It is calle the Bengels ASS System, (Air Suspension Seating) System We are taking the time to do a Patent on this item so posting any pics of the system is off limits until the patent pending process is completed. I'm going to be offering these system at a introductory option price of $750.00 per seat. This is an option that can be built into the actual seat frame or into the seat riser while keeping the original look to the seat frame. Eventually it will be turned into a kit form for the end user to retro fit his vehicle himself. But one step at a time.

As mentioned these have been tested in the harshest environment that a vehicle on earth can be tested on and passed with flying colorsl. While they are adjustable to any firmness which in itself is pretty cool, this can also be achieved on the fly. Basically what it does is give just enough air cushion softness in the seat frame to take out the sharp spikes and bumps in the vehicle ride. The air bag pressure dictates the smoothness of the ride. Full inflation is like the ride with out the bags,, using only the vehicle suspension and seat springs for all the ride comfort. Exhaust a bit of air and you can dial your ride smoothness right in for maximum comfort...

Bad Back for you or Mama? This just might be the E ticket ride that makes all the difference for you? Doing an extended trip and don't want to stop for gas at every station just to stretch your legs, This might be the answer.

While these are brand new and there is nothing else like it on the market, and until I'm given the OK to show pics. I will post up a few blurred out Pic and show you what I can. I have set up a Social Group here so that I can answer any questions and share up dates as the delivery time gets closer. Questions can be answered keeping in mind the patent process must run its coarse before too much can be shown. I have posted up the off road system which is substantially different that the Hot Rod application but it does give you an idea as to what is coming.

Talk about savy and quality! Bengel's has been the leader in this field in my book for a long time. I was a Firefighter in Spring Valley prior to the merger of many fire agencies in that area. Anytime I wanted something done right I 'd head to Bengels and look up Bob. If they can't do he'll point us in the right direction. Seats? No question about it! Bob at Bengels!!! Where ever you are at it is worth the shipping/handling costs to get it done right.

Hamb Discount... Who get's it?

We have been receiving a lot of inquires about the seat frame prices through the internet by people seeing the Hamb O Dex page here. We want to keep the integrity of the discount as offered to the Hamb members only. Its not a Hamb discount if it turns into a regular price and is given to anyone and everyone...

For this reason Hamb discounted prices will only be given via Private Message over the Hamb or at least a confirmation of membership if via email.

If your not a Hamb Member it might be worth your time to take a minute to register. There is a lot of value in this forum both in knowledge and $$$$. We are not requiring any posting requirements to qualify for this discount... We only require you are member of the Hamb prior to receiving this discount.
Thanks M.T.


This is being added to all Email inquires who say that they saw us on the HAMB.
To help us insure we are giving Hamb Members the Correct discounted prices please supply us with your HAMB Member name so we can P.M. you with the correct discounted pricing. Please be sure that on the Hamb that your Edit Option to Enable Private Messaging is selected.

[Metaltwister]

A few more pic of what Fatluckys did with our seat frame... Just flat beautiful!





We also wanted to thank everyone who took advantage of the Ham O Dex opportunities this last year and look forward to continuing to extend the H.A.M.B. pricing to it's members throughout the incoming 2013 year. As always we truly appreciate everything that Ryan has done to make this place possible. It also should go without saying we appreciate the hundreds of you that have done business with us through out this past year. So with that said we hope you have a safe, happy, and wonderful New Year holiday! Please feel free to contact us with any custom seating questions you may have.

Just an FYI... Our web page is in the process of being reconstructed and up dated so please be patient with the lack of a current web page.
Thanks, Bob Engel

The "March Model A " Offer to the HAMB'ers...
It's time to do this again, So Here's The Deal...

Awhile back we did a special run of Model A Seats and offered them at a additional discounted price as a thank you to the HAMB and its members. We sold dozens during that offer which made it possible for quite a few members to get that extra nice seat frame at a very affordable price.

Last time we just made up a bunch of standard Model A seats and sold them off. This time Id like to take slightly different approach and take Pre commitments. Meaning that on a April 1st will post up when the special run of seats will be done. No more commitments will be taken after that date. When the run is completed and packaged up you will be contacted for payment and delivery instructions. The commitment is just our way of knowing how many seats to manufacture for this one time run.

The Seats for this run are our standard Model A style Bench seat with reclining and flip forward back rest panel. They recline forward and aft to about 45 degrees. The seat controls are mounted on the side with the lever release mounted on the driver side mechanism. Aluminum covers for the mechanisms are supplied These seats have flip up bases for additional out of view storage. They are fully sprung with no sag zigzag springs and painted black ready to foam and upholster.

The Model A Seats Measure:
42" across the top of the pack panel
37" across the front of the bottom panel
19.5" deep on the bottom panel
25" from floor to top of the seat back. (In straight the up position)
Add 1" if seat sliders are used
5" Ride height at front of the lower panel


The price on this production run of seats will be $491.00
OEM style seat sliders are available at $75.00 for the pair.
Shipping and handling charges apply and will be quoted with receipt of your mailing Zip Code. Shipping limited to the continental United States only.


This offer will honored until April 1st 2013. As this is a special offer for HAMB members only. Please PM me with any questions you may have on this limited one time offer. Thanks again
