Steve, The hot dog man!
Just a little note to let you know how much I ENJOYED building my E-Z Built Hot Dog Cart (pictures below).
I had a ball building my cart with lots of laughs watching the videos several times. Everybody kept asking when is it going to be done? Well I finished it and everyone loved it, it took me a while to pick my theme but as you can see it was old time Coke and a Hot Dog.
I also sell Pepsi thats why the Coke & Pepsi kissing with water bottle on the sides. My youngest daughter and I take her 1985 IROC-Z camaro to car shows and I sell the Hot Dogs, its a ball.
Thanks again Howard (Howmans Hot Dog)

Hey Howman, super nice job!!! I love the theme – it looks really professional and I’m diggin’ your hat!
I can remember cruising in my buddy’s new black and gold IROC Z with T tops back in the eighties. He sold it when he enlisted and I should have bought it. What a nice ride! I’m sure your daughter enjoys hers.
Again, awesome job on the cart Howman! Keep us updated on your slingin’ and cruisin’. Sounds like a pretty good life to me…

Howard,
Great Job on your cart. Nice graphics! I’ve been in the Hot Dog Business 25 years and It’s good to find a theme and stick with it…. Whimsy sells…. Best of Luck with your New Endeavor …..

Now that’s what I’ve been talking about for years !!! You have to make a splash to draw attention. So many plain carts wind up for sale after a couple of months. Wonder why???
I’ve always said, “You have to put the product 2” from the customer’s nose and hit it with a sledge hammer and the thought might travel to their brain.
Great job Howman !!!
This is one of the prettiest carts I’ve seen so far, actually, I think this is my favorite cart so far-nice job Howard!
LOVE THE THEME! SO RETRO! SO BABY-BOOMER! YOU’LL DO GREAT!!!!
Nice job! Great looking cart….
Great looking cart! Love the Coca Cola logos!
what agreat job !! This cart is beautiful and I love the stickers !!
Curious to know the final cost?
Is it made of wood ?……….Larry
I like all the red and white, looks very good. your hat gives it a nice touch……….
AWESOME!!!
Sir, your cart looks great! I’m going to build one for myself up here in northern Ont.Canada. I’ll be ordering my videos at the end of the month,what advice would you give someone who is just starting on their cart?I wonder about the size of the cooler,do you think a desighn with a larger cooler would work better? Up here I don’t have to worry about keeping it as short as these carts are.I have a cooler that holds 11 cases of soda and keeps ice for 5 days.I’m thinking of two of these one for soda and one for food. Best of luck from joe
I like it too. sort of retro.
I bet coke-cola would like it too. dogs and coke is so america.
you should send them the pictures too.
OK that may be a slick cart granted (really like the theme plug the Coke but you are really selling both) but that Chef’s Chapeaux man that is one professional looking hat! Adequate reason to buy a premium dog right there LOL! Especially like the thermometer, paper towel dispenser, and Coke menu board really adds a touch of class Howard but that hat… c’est magnifique monsieur 🙂 Nice cart and nice finish makes me hungry just looking at it so you’re definitely doing something right, Rich.
Love the retro look !!! Whats old is new again !!
Except me !! Arrrrggggg !!
1st mate Jim…
Great looking cart! Love the color choice and branding, very sharp.
If your menu is still the same, raise your drink and chip prices. By the time you purchase,handle,chill the cans 75 cents is to cheap. And your chip prices need to go up as well.Selling them for 50 cents a bag is not enough profit. Your time gathering and handling your products is worth something! Hey it’s fun but hard work, but it doesn’t hurt to make a little money with the fun!
Very best regards,
Mike
Great theme , u should be proud, good job.
Excellent graphics! The best I’ve seen! Great job. Best of luck to you!
Sweet cart!!
I added you to O’Doggy’s and DJDawg’s carts. I like them and your’s best.
lol, love it!! This is a name I’m thinking about putting to mine. What do you all think of “Wylde Fyre Weiners”? Great job though Howman, takes me back to my youth when Dad would take me to the stock market with him. We would always stop at this little 50’s style diner which always had great hamburgers and hotdogs. I can still remember the tastes and smells. Your logo brought all that back once again, fantastic memories of my Father. Thank You
WOW!! This makes me want 2 decorate My Cart! Bless You 4 sharing!

Nice cart Howard!
I really like the Coca-Cola nostalgia theme. As we say up here, that’s a wickard goood-lookin’ cahrt.
Wow! Really nice. Motivation to get the ball rolling on my own cart. Love the red color, too!
A very nice looking cart! Good job.
Thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate them, and Larry it is made out of wood per the final cost not sure yet. Joe, for advice I would Say watch the video as many times as you need, look at other carts and come up with your own personal cart that fits you. you will get lots of ideas. on my water tower which you can not really see I mounted it permanent on the storage side (screwed and glued haha) with it split in the middle with a hinge for access to the fresh water jug.
Thanks again Howard
P.S. always looking for more Ideas in the news letter thanks STEVE
Thanks Howard! Once again, great job!
love the cart,but does not the Coke logo infrindge on rights? in south jersey here,some one had a logo with a Phila.Eagle,got into a messy bit of trouble
No, I don’t believe displaying the Coke signs is a copyright issue if you are using it to advertise and/or sell their product. Coke wants people to display their brand logo everywhere.
This is not the same issue as displaying a pro sports team logo because the sports franchise charges a licensing fee for the use of their logo. The logo itself is the product.
A very nice job done…..I wish you the very Best!!!
Nice Eye Candy….Great while customers are waiting in line to keep there eyes and minds busy.
Better have a A Frame Menu Board…because the cart doesn’t sell anything nor does it convey
information that will result in a $$Sale$$
Would love to see you Steve expand on your cart design and offer a Production High Volumne Cart.Design
Really eye-catching cart. Getting their attention is SO important
On your pricing, I recall an article around here making the point to never under value your product, regardless of the pricing of any competitors. You are selling the Experience, the Quality, your Uniqueness, and your fabulous Personality as you serve your customers!
Your customers can visit COSTCO and get a 1/4 pound dog and drink for $1.50! Your dogs are better and you wipe off the soda can with a clean towel before you hand it to them. That’s SERVICE, something they are happy to pay for.
Be sure you are being paid for all your prep, shopping, and travel time as well as cleanup and travel time home. If you don’t you have a hobby, a fun hobby for sure, but not quite the income generator that most of us strive for.
Good job and best of luck
Yes, yes, and yes. Great comment Jim.
Awesome love this ! Great idea !
Love it! BTW where did you get all those Coke items?
