This vendor trailer is not a hot rod,but this thread does further explain the main reason behind the Astro Ole Yellar van build.The van is the towing vehicle over the road to various events/fleamarkets selling snack foods.

When I first got the trailer it looked like this and the doors are way heavy:



Given the fact I am not a young guy and over the yrs I learned things about fast set-ups we needed to design opening the gull wing doors fast and easy.We stripped the doors and build racks on the side of the doors to hold the up rights that hold the doors open.





We used HF hydro pump up rams to open the doors and some struts to help out.





As you can see now we have up-rights that will have the opening to customers towards the back of the trailer and have clear tarps attached to three sides of the up-rights.



Those up-rights are adjustable for different ground levels and have a base plate we built for it.





Down the center of the trailer is the storage area for stock that is in stack-able containers.You see e-track that is used to hold the containers in place.



The walls for holding the selling products will be diamond plate that is glued to 3/8's plywood.I laid out the cut outs and temporary screwed that to the frame work.
