    they have chroming shops in Wisconsin does chroming of auto parts, but mine was painted black so ill probably paint it black again. Since I retired my pockets aren't as deep as they once was, so I have to pick and choose how I spend my money.

    That's too bad. I just assembled my door glass and the Nomad window frames I had him re-chrome look awesome. Most of my stuff is still wrapped in bubble pack but Mike inspects every piece himself and he's really picky, so I trust that he made sure they were as good as they can be.

    His website still says he does chrome work though...... http://madmooks.com/Chrome_Plating.html

    I'm suspecting one reason Mike isn't getting the liftgates chromed any longer is perhaps the distance from his new place in AZ? to his old chrome shop?? Maybe Mike will butt in here and give us the straight scoop and total story??

    If I read his posts correctly, he's not only not doing chrome but he's not straightening liftgates either. So that's probably a matter of his time available more than anything.

    I’m back to straightening the gates , but we stopped chroming them. I took a break from them earlier this year. We have about 10 or so right now. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas
