RE: Good wood for tts [TANKS]

Speaking of track material.  I saw on the web page that Steve Gusikoski used
some type of rubber for his track pads.  What material is this and where can
I get some?

Also, does anyone out there have a line on getting / buying some treadmill
belt.  I haven't been able to find any yet and need enough to build a TTS for
my T-44 which is 41 inches long.

Thanks for the help,

John

Chris, have you considered checking out any building restoration places. Old 
shelves and doors are a great source for cheap wood supplies. The quote you 
got sounds high to me but I think in Canadian dollars. At those prices you 
may want to where a condom while shopping..........
