If you locate a good company that would produce a pod maybe there would be enough of interest that you could take orders for x amount of pods.
I contacted Dennis Fetters about the company that made the air command pods but he did not have much information as it was all hand laided stuff on small scale.
Making a pod is not a big deal. You just need to design it, build a plug and make a mold. The old AC design was and is solid wet-layup. A little heavy for what we do in fiberglass now. Now any fiberglass parts I make are from Pre-Preg materials, and are 1/4th the weight and twice the strength. The problem is designing a pod that would fit on enough airframes and not adversely affect the flight characteristics, and to sell enough to make it worth while.
