Hey Mike, Manart sells sewable polycarbonate sheets.  Don't know how they'd get one shipped to you though.

We have lots of customers sewing with this, it normally sells under the Makrolon name if that helps.

Try Manart over in Pompano. Maybe a road trip to pick it up.

That's crazy big!!  I'd have quoted closer to $1500.  I hate working with those huge pieces...
