I did all this stuff about 2 years ago and just stored it untill needed, I just got some 1 /14 width steel bar not very thick, got it from home depot, and lenght is about 3 3/8, cut of the loop handle left the base, drilled 2 holes for flat head sheet metal screws, made them flush to the bar, bashed the rear end of the bar to curve around the back base just a little, and just a little bondo as filler then multiple coats of silver paint and gloss, as for the housing you will have to make a mold from wood, and glaze it, wax it. black gelcoat, then lay fiberglass, pretty fun easy stuff...
