Custom Hot Rod Seat Frames By Bengels

Attachment 61332

Looking for that hard to find or near impossible to find seat frame for your vintage era ride? Bengels builds new custom fitted seat frames to your measurements that meet and exceed current OEM safety standards. All this while keeping the shape look of an original seat frame. Now you dont have to dig through wrecking yards just to settle for a seat that "kind of fits". You know the drill, go to the junk yard and find something close to fitting, wrestle it out of the vehicle then get it home, chop it up, then re work it to fit your ride. :LOL: Buy it right the first time and be done with it.


Thanks to the CHR for this Opportunity to share! Cheers.

Hey guys I wanted to make all of the Club Hot Rod members aware of the Fathers day special we have going on right now until the 15th or so. We truly know what its like to try to build a car in this economic environment and as a result we are running things lean and mean at the shop these days. We are keeping the overhead down and passing the savings on to our customers. We have forgone the retailers and are passing their profits to our customers. These savings are passed on in our every day prices but when we have a sale it makes a very affordable seat even more affordable. Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for everyone with a Passion for the old tin to have access to the best seat frame built today, and at a price that wont break the bank. If you are thinking about updating your seat frame in the near future now might be the time? Do some surfing and get a few prices to compare with ours. Don't forget prices for things like seat sliders, shipping, and other optional items. Then give us a crack at it. This sale price is the lowest price we have had in years and will be well worth the effort to shop now. Give me a PM and I will be able to help you with any questions you may have. Or look over the web site and contact me through there. Keep in mind the prices on the site are our regular prices. Sales prices are quoted...

Thanks,

3 Bobs, on your first ad, do you have anymore pics of that rod? It appears it has some compound turbos on it and I'm guessing a not spark plug engine? :LOL:

I had a request to build a lower seat base frame that would flip up for a bucket T. I hadn't seen it finished until just the other day so I took a few pics...

Way cool. Do you repurpose springs, or do you have bulk spring stock, if so, what is your source?

I buy the springs on a giant spool an cut them to fit my need. Then bend the ends to the needed configuration and on they go.
I buy from a local wholesale supplier. But the springs are available at any upholstery supply house in smaller quantities.

What a great Merc. My dream girl...I mean car... Nice craftsmanship on the seat frames!

I'd love to have a Cobra kit car sometime. That's some nice work you do sir!!

They are a lot of fun and what a rocket ship this thing is. Had a lot of fun with it. Here is the air inlet I built before the final paint.

I did some Ginger Bread stuff on it as well. I wheeled out the rear fender chip guards and the exhaust through body reveals. Oh and did I mention the engine surround? :LOL::LOL::LOL: He's been loading up the living room with trophy's... There were a lot of hands on this project... I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking I did the whole car. This car bounced in and out of my shop a few times as well as a few others. I'm sure its still jumping around town from specialist to specialist. :LOL:**)

You sir are a true Craftsman in all you do and your clientele should be as proud as you are of your work. I had a look at your web site to see if you did a seat frame for T Buckets and didn't see any but now you have shown a couple. The freight costs to have a seat airfreighte to NZ would be to much but I may steal some ideas from you and have a go at making my own using light weight tube. I need to get my seat base down low and sloping down at the back. The other consideration is the seat back can only be the maximum 2" thick finished. My original thoughts were to build the seat base using marine ply with holes cut and the flat strap stapled across and then foam shaped to get the desired shape.

Sorry if I'm high jacking your thread Bob, Bob and Bob

Not to hijack three Bob's thread, but mine's for sale.
If you're interested, contact me.
(Right-hand drive but!)

Just an FYI here guys... WE’RE MOVING! We found the most beautiful place on earth and thought, why not? So we purchased a nice building with 2 nice heavy duty truck lifts all ready installed. So the plan is to be moving out of San Diego and be up and running at the new place by the first of 2019. It was part of our business plan to relocate closer to central USA for shipping reasons. Also it will enable us to better utilize an control our overhead. And on top of all that did I mention the folks are so nice there?
So by now I’m sure you’ve guessed we are relocating to Licking Missouri in Texas County. After the first of the year if your in the area please feel free to stop in and introduce yourself. We always have cold water or coffee going.

Congratulations and good luck. I'm originally from the Mid West, like any place else there are good things and drawbacks. Hope you'll be happy there.

Thanks Mike, the forever summer and everything needed within a few blocks I’m sure will be missed. But there is a lot to be said for four seasons and little slower pace once in awhile. Oh, and did I mention that the folks are really nice there? :):D thanks for the well wishes... everything is going to be just fine! What’s the old adage... CHANGE IS OPPORTUNITY! We believe this to be true.

You aren't too far from me, Springfield, so I'll try to get up your way.

Very nice to see you back on here sir! Congrats on the life changes! We go to the Ozarks every summer so maybe I'll look you up when we head down there next year! Good luck with the move and take care!

Thank you! Been away from the internet for awhile... it was sucking away my days. LOL Hope you can make it some day. Just a few miles from Montauk Park.
Beautiful in spring and summer.

Hey Stranger! Nice to see your name pop up on the screen.
Good Luck with the move and the new shop.

I hope all your new neighbors are nice to you and yours. OH, say hello to Bob & Bob for me! :LOL::LOL::whacked::p

B&B are being lazy! Looks like im going to be doing most of the moving myself! Ugga! I contacted the local police back there today asking if they could check on the place until i get back there. Really nice guy and once I told him what I did he started telling me his plan for building a rat rod�� Think we are going to fit in nicely. Very few close neighbors which is just fine with me. Ive been posting up security videos of the corner im on now. When ya get a chance check out the crazyness on my instagram page “metaltwister” will get you on. Then you will know the main reason for the move. Im back by the way, will be checking in at least once a day... and thanks for the kind words.

I hear you about the slower pace and fewer neighbors......one of the reasons I'm happy where I'm at.

Speaking of security video I put up some cameras on my shop a while back......never had any problems here, but it lets me see if someones at the gate and when the mail comes. This morning when I went out to the shop the motion detector was beeping non stop. I turned on the monitor saw the problem pretty quickly.......a darn spider had built a web across the front of the camera and there was just enough breeze to cause it to move and set off the detector. :rolleyes:



.

Sorry to hear that B&B aren't pulling their weight, maybe you can leave them behind?!?!?!
I don't do the Instagram thing but I am very familiar with that scene, I spent some 5 weeks in Richmond, CA a few years back. I was just a couple blocks off the highway and wouldn't go out after dark! I couldn't even get Domino's to deliver a pizza to my hotel room! To get into Richmond Point you had to go past 2 police cruisers. If you didn't "look right", you weren't going past!

No thanks, you can keep CA all for yourselves imho!

I dont want to mislead anyone here. San Diego is a wonderful and for the most part very safe place. The problem started about a year ago when a legal pot shop opened up the street. Say what you will about the legality of pot, I dont care but all the crazys driving to and from the pot shop stoned made this one very un safe corner! Enough of an issue that Im changing locations after 15 years here. The crime has peaked, or has it? homless tweeker population has risen, and human crap in the drive way has convienced me it’s time for me invest my time and money in a different community. Im sure every place has its issues but the increadable increase in this last year has taken it toll on this once nice neighborhood. Its not going to get any better.

Did I mention how DARN NICE the folks are in Missouri?

Enough of an issue that it is why Im changing locations after 15 years here. The crime has peaked, homless tweeker population has risen, and human crap in the drive way has put a cap on it for me. Im sure every place has its issues but the excessive increase in this last year has taken it toll on this once nice neighborhood. Its not going to get any better.

Once upon a time, actually a long time ago, I spent a year in San Diego going through Marine Corps radar repair school and really loved the place. That was in 1962 and things have changed and not for the better. The last time I was in San Diego was in 2015 when my grandson graduated from boot camp and I doubt I'll ever go back.

Yeah I get it... born and raised here and other than for family reasons I have no intention on coming back. Course Im going to learn the new language.

You got me thinking, Jump on PCH up through La Jolla through La Jolla junction at the road to Miramar, down thorough Torrey Pines and Del Mar and then through Encinitas and Leucadia and on to Carlsbad. One of the best drives in the world especially in the summer time. And then through Oceanside and the 26 miles up the coast of Camp Pendleton to San Clemente and then all of the beaches to Long Beach. My dad's 3 4 wife lived in Long Beach right across the street from Lakewood High School. Then on Saturday night to Lion's and watch GBP take on the goose.
It's too bad the liberal progressives turned a paradise into a cesspool.
Damn do I miss those days and am sure glad I got to experience them.
Oh, and yes, the people here in Missouri are plenty friendly and like you I'm an invader as I'm originally from Ohio.

I agree to the friendly folks here in MO, a few years ago I worked at a local hospital and a contractor from Chicago told me he as a contractor was treated terrible in most other parts of the country while working, but in Missouri we treated him so great he was wanting to move here (we fed him BBQ) he said it was unbelievable and loved coming here to work. Unfortunatly there are many drugs here also, when I was young it was confined to large cities, now even the smallest town are filled with meth, they use it long enough they cull themselves though. I am located between KC and Springfield and enjoy the state very much, most of it is beautiful. If global warming is actually happening I guess we will see more people heading here! Welcome to Missouri
