OK gang...here is the deal...FINALLY...from the Isuzu SUV guy himself at Isuzu Motors America...which only took a week of persistent phone calls to locate:
These window stickers - the so called "Monroney Sticker" are a US legal requirement, and were produced by Isuzu America for these vehicles once delivered from the mother country. Because the VX is long out of production, and Isuzu has stopped selling all SUVs in the US four years ago, all of the printing machinery and related marketing tools needed to reproduce such stickers for those vehicles no longer exist at the company. So, Isuzu can not reproduce the sticker.
As far as the "Build Sheet" from the Fujisawa assembly plant, even if the information does exist, this guy had no clue where to begin to look, and if it could be found, Isuzu would most likely refuse to release it citing IP protection of proprietary information.
I think working a reproduction from an existing sticker is the most viable option, as most of you proposed. I have a beat-up copy from a former VX owner, and that was always plan B. I just thought it might be "fun" to see if obtaining the vehicle-specific sticker was possible. Jesus...what a twisted concept of "fun" I had...what the hell was I thinking?
So...thanx everyone for your comments, suggestions, and even the templates...
Finally, a word regarding my usage of a few colloquial terms involving religious figures. I could really give a lengthy lecture here, but I am intentionally making it brief for everyone's sake. I guess the best reply to the criticism here is the following: It's only blasphemy if you believe in such silly notions as "the afterlife", "supreme beings", and the like. Otherwise, to me, it's the same as saying "John Q Public", "Thomas P Smith" or "James J Jones"...
Please don't misinterpret this...I am a HUGE supporter of mainstream religions, in fact, because it is also my contention that if you think the planet is in bad shape now, just imagine what it would be like if religion did not exist acting as the Sword of Damocles dangling over the heads of most misguided Homo sapiens.
Th, th, th, th, th, th, that's all folks...
