Last year we kicked off our second annual RCN Drivers’ Choice Awards program to recognize the top products and services in the world of replicas, unique classics and homebuilt cars. We posted 20 categories ranging from tools, tires and brakes, all the way up to complete turnkey vehicles and builder packages, and you voted for your favorites. Unfortunately we were not able to hand out our Drivers’ Choice Awards in person at the SEMA Show with its 2020 cancellation, but we look forward to recognizing our winners over the coming weeks here at rcnmag.com.

One of the biggest complaints in the early days of kits and replicas was that the show didn’t match the go, meaning that their exotic body designs were sometimes let down by old used parts. But there are plenty of options out there today allowing you to fine-tune your homebuilt vehicle, including full suspension upgrades and complete retro-fit steering systems. Offering a full range of upgraded steering columns and installation parts, we’re pleased to announce that IDIDIT has been awarded gold in the 2020 Drivers’ Choice Awards.

IDIDIT was founded by Ken Callison in 1986 in a two-car garage and has now grown into a 35,000 sq-ft facility in Tecumseh, Michigan. A machinist by trade, Callison got started building steering columns in his shop, and his home business started talking off as hot rodders took notice of his work. Today, IDIDIT offers a wide variety of columns for custom cars, kits, race cars, golf karts and more. On their site you'll find an array of vehicle-specific columns, along with universal offerings with tilt mechanisms and modern safety and convenience features. The company also offers a host of installation products and accessories, including horn kits, ignitions, cruise-control systems, mounting solutions and joints and couplers.

Congratulations to IDIDIT, along with Cobra Valley and Acton Custom Enterprises, who took silver and bronze medals respectively in the steering components category.

Thanks to all who voted, along with all the manufacturers nominated in this category!
