    VX metal type.

    Hi everyone !! Someone in the club a while back stated that the VX was made from galvanized metal, is that true?

    Yes, the metal body panels are constructed using galvanized steel for rust prevention.

    One of the Isuzu guys in the Insights - Art & Science VX DVD states that the panels are zinc-plated, meaning they are galvanized. I imagine that's probably very true, but this is one of those places where, after watching it a few times, the BS alarm goes off in my head a little. I suspect some of the commentary is coming from people who really don't have all that much of a real grasp of things and are just following some talking points and sort of winging it. You can just see them searching for a thought in mid-sentence some times and stringing things together in ways that don't make sense. Steve Kerho says the following:

    "...in combination with that is zinc-plated steel on the sheet metal, which is very futuristic, which has a lot of tension in the design to really highlight more of an on-road, sporty type of feel."

    Huh? Does he even know what zinc-plating (galvanization) is for? Dude, you can't even see that it's been zinc-plated, so how exactly is that so?
