A Nostalgic Look for Your Traditional Hot Rod Build We take a lot of things for granted these days when building a hot rod. So many things that had to be sourced used or from other vehicles back in the heyday are now available as perfect modern copies. From body parts to interior, it is truly much easier to build a hot rod today in whatever style you desire. A perfect example of this is the classic aluminum bomber seat. History is lost to who may have been the first to grab the seats from an old surplus WWII aircraft and bolt them into their car, but it was an extremely popular way to go back in the 1940s. The seats were lightweight (perfect for the burgeoning racing scene of the '40s), cheap, and looked pretty darn cool as well. Today, commonly referred to as "rat rod seats,"you can find recreations of classic aluminum bomber seats for sale in many styles and we offer a couple of great options for your build. Traditional Looks with More Comfort One thing vintage bomber seats were known for is that they did not usually provide a high level of comfort, even with the original bomber seat pads that came with them. Let us be real here, they were bare aluminum "butt buckets"designed to be as small and light as possible to fit in the cramped fuselages of military aircraft
