Question Tailgate rebuild?

Since the after market tailgates seem to be so crappy, I was wondering if anybody has tried to rebuild an after market gate with parts from a damaged OE one?

Seems like I could use the ends from a stock one, use some steel stock to brace it up and 'skin' it with the sheet metal from an after market gate? I could get some strength and straight lines..What do ya think?
