So I replaced my tailpan about a year ago and upon doing so I had to remove my tailgate and hinges. Once I finished mocking up the tailpan and got it painted, I became fixated on the idea of making a one piece liftgate (like the sedan deliveries). I have seen a few Nomads with thier custom made one piece liftgates/tailgates. I am indecision about this because about three years ago I purchased a rechromed/straightened liftgate from Michael Bakotich (MadMook) thinking that it would my make me content with the liftgate area and I do not want to modify it (I'm afraid of ruining it). From what information I gathered, one Nomad I saw seemed as though they replaced the stock liftgate portion with a modified wagon liftgate and then connected it to the the tailgate (I thought this was ugly in my own opinion). I saw another where a bracket was fabricated so that it basically was a skeleton for the stock liftgate and tailgate to bolt up to. This bracket would connect to the liftgate hinges and the gas struts so that no stress was put on the stock liftgate and tailgate (I really liked this idea; however, this required removing some material from the liftgate and mine is already rechromed so I am really discouraged from doing this). I remember reading a post on a thread where someone said that a Nomad owner in Long Beach, CA had made one out of fiberglass. I'd really like to ask them how well it held together (did it crack? did they install all of the trim? what did they do with the liftgate portion since you can't chrome fiberglass?). If I remember correctly, the "Glomad" (Snap-on sponsored Nomad) had a fiberglass liftgate; however, I called the company they used to purchase the fiberglass parts (doors, front clip, tailgate/liftgate) and they said they did not make a fiberglass tailgate/liftgate for the Nomad. They did make a fiberglass one piece liftgate for a sedan delivery (that works out for all you wagon folks). I figured that I would bring this up since I hadn't seen any posting on it.
