Wow! that looks great (but it does seem like an awful lot of steel to be lugging around).
Hot dip galvanize would possibly be out of the question, because you will need to drill expansion/drain holes in the box section for the process to work without the heat warping the frame. But hot sprayed galvanizing would work: and you'll have a few different colours to choose from. Spray it with a good clear Polyurethane varnish when it's done and the finish will look great for years (Galvanizing does dull over time as the surface Oxidises).
