I can attest to the quality of Mike's liftgate straightening. My liftgate was distorted so it would rub the roof in the middle, and didn't' line up with the drip rail on the ends. Mike straightened it and it fits perfectly now.

Here's some pics before and after. Awesome work.

Thanks Mike! Your work is just about as "perfect" as GM enabled you to make it. The liftgates weren't perfect from the factory, but the way you straighten them makes them fit as good as they possibly can.

BTW, I know you've heard it a dozen times, but my liftgate is coming off pretty soon to heli-coil the hinge holes, and send it to you for chroming. This last mockup process took me a lot longer than I expected but I'm doing the final tailgate and liftgate fitting. Now I have to do my new shop design before I get back to working on the car.

Spoke with a person in out little car club today Mike that you did work for "Dennis Hall" he is wanting to see some of your new stuff and sounds as he plans on sending more work your way ;) hopefully we can get another member with a 56 Nomad to send work your way:cool:

Mike straightened my lift gate on my 5 nomad and it was the best money ever spent. Did a great job and looks as good as new or better. Thanks for the great job Mike.
