I'd like to have a fully customized experience, make my own mold, shape, width, etc. Suggestions on websites or stores?

Your local hardware store will have what you need. If theres something they dont have. Look it up on ebay.

You can buy veneer at swains! i think they also sell veneer at michaels, though i've never really checked.

I'm sure there are better places to buy veneer, but i've purchased veneer from swains for a decent price.

For molds i can't really think of any places except gator molds or NFB which is fully customizable.

You can also try making your own mold?

Gator fingerboards is good for molds and veneers if you can't fing any

Ryan is spot on - you can probably find out a lot more by looking back at other conversations like this.

And with regards to the mold... the only place that makes completely custom molds is NFB at $240 a mold.
There are also plenty of 3D Design and printing services everywhere. Most of them have no knowledge or experience in making fingerboard templates, but if you can manage to make your own design on the computer they can 3D print you your own template. From there, it's just a matter or making a bondo mold from the template.
There used to someone one here that made custom templates (Micaso, I think?). I got a rectangle template that was totally custom for about $25 bucks, but I'm not sure if they guy is still active on here.
