No, not the Interlox plastic track. Home built, from scratch. Started with treadmill belt. Glued (super glue) on 76, 1 inch X 3.75 inch X .187 inch thick, PVC plastic treads. On the inside are 76 aluminum, "T" shaped track guides, pop rivited on. I built this alignment fixture: http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z65/mm123521/HPIM0711.jpg http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z65/mm123521/HPIM0707.jpg
http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z65/mm123521/HPIM0749.jpg 76 + 76 = 152 treads 76 + 76 = 152 machined aluminum track guides 152 + 152 = 304 pop rivits about 60 or 70 hours to build.
