Break out the cabbage burritos and pass the green beans the awards were presented on the opening day of the 2018 SEMA Show during the New Product Awards Breakfast. And STREET RODDER’s friends at Flaming River Industries took top honors. The awards recognize the most innovative and cutting-edge aftermarket products that will be for sale in 2019.
Designed and built in the USA the new Flaming River VDOG variable angle steering will solve a lot of problems for street rod builders facing space restrictions while working around exhaust headers, tight frame rails, and anything else that can get in the way. The VDOG is an all-new steering adjuster that allows a 90-degree angle from the steering column to the steering mechanism. Articulating output shaft for maximum adjustment. Mount horizontally or vertically. Aluminum housing with -36 shaft to connect to universal joints. The unit is gear driven without any chains, sprockets, or rubber bands. See it in the flesh in Hot Rod Alley space number 22683.
SEMA annually recognizes outstanding achievements in product development through the New Product Awards competition, which are judged in 16 categories. Each category has one winner and two runners-up. Winners are selected based on a variety of factors, such as superiority of innovation, technical achievement, quality and workmanship, consumer appeal and marketability, and more.
