I'm looking to have a winscreen made for my Formula Vee. Anyone know of a company that makes them or sells Pieces of Lexan?

I would try a google search for plastics distributors in your area first.
You didn't say what model of vee you have. I think most people just make a 'buck' out of wood that approximates what they want on the car... buy a piece of lexan or other polycarb and heat with a hairdryer and slowly bend it to fit the buck. Then flex it/trim it however needed to install on your car. If you don't need to SEE THROUGH your windshield it's no biggee.. but if you want to SEE, then you need to be extra special careful not to OVERheat it while working it .. or force bend it so much that it 'crazes'. Nearly all 'first efforts' end up being throw aways.
If you have a relatively modern 'make' of car, you MIGHT be able to just buy one. Need to know what you have to get a suggestion on that.

if you are making your own, this company is nearby in Stockton

Absolutely superb quality. Lois was the person that did one of my Lola windscreens three decades ago.Quote:
