He probably cast it himself. You can actually cast aluminum pretty easily, with a little training and a hot fire!
Theres a guy on the Marlin Crawler board (Toyota Rockcrawling forum) that cast his own Supercharger nose cone for a Nissan diesel engine. He did it in his driveway with a vacuum cleaner supercharged fire...
It would actually be easier to build one out of sheet aluminum and weld it together though. On my truck, I ended up welding an extension to an ATS intake hat to hook up my IC plumbing...

I think I remember that one. Did it look like it started out as a piece of irrigation pipe?

Rob made his own mold and poured his own hat. He cut apart an old intake and melted down the metal pieces to pour his new hat.
