I haven't seen a hot-dipped galvanized frame here myself, but I would certainly be an interested buyer if any are still be made.
The only cars with aluminum frames are luxury/sports cars, and the Honda Insight from like 20 years ago. Some newer cars have aluminum bodies (F-150?) but not aluminum frames which makes no sense to me. Steel car bodies last a _very_ long time these days, compared to the frames.
