I would almost bet you will be making your own track frames. just start with aluminum square tube and go from their. that way the center of your track frame will be aluminum where the turntable mounts and it wont flex and bend. mine was thin aluminum in thr beggining and i didn't even have much their of to much weight and it was already to flexible. but everything on my ex has been rebuilt atleast twice only improving they way i think and build evry time. thats the funnest part forvme anyways. i like what you have so far and i hope to see lots of pics and ideas
