HOT ROD ALLEY NEW PRODUCTSSEMA

Hot Rod Alley at the SEMA Show includes a mix of street rod, custom car and street-performance products and ser-vices pertaining to everything from classic ’30s vehicles to ‘70s musclecars and beyond. This diverse category showed growth for the third consecutive year at the SEMA Show. For

2016, the number of companies exhibiting in the hot rod segment grew 2% and occupied 4% more square footage on the Show floor than in the prior year.

This year, Hot Rod Alley exhibitors entered almost 120 new products in the New Products Showcase. If there was a theme to the new-product surge, it might be respect for the hot rod legacy, even as manufacturers cleverly integrate new technologies. Top products receiving scans from buyers included EFI systems from companies such as Holley/MSD Group, Speedmaster and FiTech EFI, and exhaust equipment from Xforce Performance Exhaust. Products related to adapting Chevrolet LS engines to custom applications also received notably high click rates from buyers at the Show.

Among the innovative products receiving awards were a V12 LS engine that runs on pump gas; Bluetooth-configurable, high-def analog instrument packages for ’55–’57 Chevy cars; and a steering column for ’40 Fords that looks vintage but has modern features.

The following pages contain fresh new products entered into the New Products Show-case from exhibitors in Hot Rod Alley as they were photographed and described at the 2016 SEMA Show.

I think the biggest change to come in the last few years is the influx of new custom-ers—first-time guys to have cars built or build themselves. It’s very exciting as well as a huge responsibility for our industry as a whole to ensure that this new customer base is taken care of and treated fairly. We all need them to have a positive experience, regardless of whether it is you or your competitors that can make them the happiest. If they get a raw deal or something turns them off, they will find other avenues and hobbies to spend their money on, and then we all lose.

There is always the die-hard, true-to-the-core enthusiast who insists that everything be made the way they used to build them. But we’re also seeing a lot of enthusiasts use updated technology to replace worn-out parts. Products such as new panels stamped out of modern, high-tensile steel with updated anti-corro-

sive coating; LED products instead of incandescent; modern brakes, suspension, etc., are being used and adapted to hot rods to customize each car to the enthusiast’s preference.

Looking ahead to the future, I think high-end parts are becoming more attainable. With CNC machining, 3D printing and excellent fabrication work as well as sophisti-cated EFI systems becoming more mainstream, project vehicles are going to continue to exceed the standards and expectations of just a few years ago. A resurgence of actually driving custom vehicles is helping push this trend; not only must it look the part, it has to make the trip, run the number, etc. People want a hot rod to do it all, and that’s totally possible in 2017.

Just based on the shows that we have gone to, it appears that the tra-ditional hot rod has once again taken the limelight back from the more rustic-type builds. We have nothing against rat rods and love that they bring some people into the hobby who could not otherwise afford to get into a rod. Those are great places to start, and in many cases, they are works of art. But we’ve noticed that the higher-end builds have been get-

ting the attention they deserve. You only have to look at this year’s Grand National Road-ster Show or the Detroit Autorama to understand that flawless bodywork and beautiful paint finishes are back in vogue. Hot rods have always been about body, stance and paint. The products that help builders produce rods with great bodywork, aggressive stances or impeccable finishes are the trend. We’d say that the biggest overall change is the move back to traditional-style hot rods and the products that support those builds.

The hot-rod market seems to be doing well overall. The builders we talk with are busy, and new cars/projects continue to roll out of professional shops that raise the bar and push the boundaries of hot rodding. Also, look at some of the road tours and events out there, from morning coffee cruises to the major events, people seem to be enjoying their hot rods. Leading the trend right now is late-model performance. Enthusiasts want their old cars

to run and handle like a newer car and are building/using parts such as air condition-ing, better brakes, sway bars and suspension components, not to mention drivetrains. In contrast, the traditional side of the hobby has never been stronger, with builders sticking to original hot-rod parts and engines. Events such as the Hot Rod Dirt Drags, the Race of Gentlemen and a number of events that stick with ’63-and-older vehicles are on a different path that continues to grow the industry and is capturing a new generation of builders, metal fabricators and painters. It is keeping the history of rodding growing and rolling.
