Try  Dan Newland at www.pegasusaeromarine.com for cloth and resin.  I have stopped using fiberglass and all my repairs or mods are carbon fiber cloth these days.  The key is to use peel ply to hold the cloth down.  I purchase a large roll of peel ply - about 12" or more wide and then just cut what I need off for any size layup.  The small narrow rolls are not worth much and over priced.  The resin Dan has is higher modulus than the Jeffco and will be stronger at no higher cost. Unless you have an oven and vacuum or a press mold, pre preg material won't work for you.  If you are speaking of the honeycomb laminate that is another issue and it's nice to have some scraps around.

Rivets and the like are tools you need around the shop and I suggest you get that stuff at Harbor Freight if you want it cheap.  They will work fine and if they don't, toss em out and buy another they are that cheap.  Have been using my pop rivet squeezer from them for about ten years with no complaints.  These are pop rivets I'm referring to.  Consider using those over the beveled aluminum rivets every place where the rivets are not structural but just there to hold a nut plate in place for instance.  The cherry pop rivets are SOOOOO much easier to work with and perform just as well.  Where I need to squeeze the aluminum rivets, I just borrow a tool from friends t the airport.  Can't justify $100 plus to buy that seldom used tool.

No damage but need to be able to make repairs and small modifications to plane such as repairing rock dings and reinforcing build up areas for the baggage door.  I also need to remake my leg fairings and repair/reinforce cracks in wheel pants.
