Default lexan windscreens and cabin doors

Do any of you guys know where I can get somebody to make me a windscreen for my boat, and cabin doors. I would assume I need to find some sort of plastics company that does mouldings. I am rebuilding a 1980 banana boat and need these to finish up my project. I will attach a pic to show you what I am looking for. thanks.

I went to a local plastics shop to remake some of my beak boat pieces. They did a great job and BTW informed me of several things;
1) It is just smoked acrylic, not Lexan or Plexiglas
2) drill holes though tape with a slightly dull bit
3) Do not flame the edges like the factory, yes it is smooth but it encourages hazing and cracking, just sand them smooth.

Lexan and Plexiglas are much much more $ than acrylic thus more $ to replace. I think they were developed for aircraft.

good information, thank you. If I can't find the company that makes these products for this boat, then I will try to do something locally. I know the company that makes this stuff for banana boats is the same company that makes the windscreens for outerlimits, just need the name or number.
