Default Carbon Fiber Price?

Whats up everyone? My name is Adrian, and I live in NC. I have posted a little here and there on this forum, but not too much. I have a 2003 Silverado SS with a few mods. I just wanted to introduce myself to the Southern members and ask a question. I just bought 46 yards of carbon fiber from a boat manufacturer that was going out of business. The measurements are 46yds long X 60 inches wide. What could I expect to reasonably sell this for, and where could I sell it at? If anyone knows anything about this please let me know. I've attached a quick picture of the roll. I'm trying to gather some mod money for my 1982 Chevy C10 that I'm working on. Thanks

I'd check out a lot of the local ricer hang outs, they love carbon fiber!

Impregnate it with epoxy and vaccum to a mold, bake.
I would try to sell it to another boat builder or aircraft mfg?

I'll be calling the local ricer shops tomorrow to see if its something they would be interested in. Hopefully I'll be able to get a reference as to what this is worth.

I've been so busy the past few months that I haven't had time for anything other than working, eating, and sleeping. I've forced myself to kind of slow down to regain a normal life. I'll be on from time to time gathering ideas and seeing what everyone is up to.
