There are some great videos on composite tooling on YouTube.
They create a 'plug' which is a life-size mockup of the housing.
From that, they create a female mold.
From which the actual part will be made.
Having a 'round' mirror allows both left and right housings to be made from the same tooling.
Anyone local, with a wood lathe could turn the plug.
Take it from there.
The skills you learn can be 'scaled' for larger composite projects.
Rick Dale, of 'Rick's Restorations' charges around $125 /hour to clients for the same kind of skills.
