the biggest bang for yer buck, considering where you live, is to find a source of clear, dry, close grain Doug Fir and mill yer own, not hard, all ya need is a decent table saw, and if you can't get the best wood pre-planed the right thickness [full 3/4], access to a thickness planer - worked for me, $80, no freight charge
also, you might check the Old Car Centre for the SS skids, also saves freight
