with light leaks and emulsion artifacts.

I don't know what to say about this gas tank, I was given this as a
photo ID "Gas Tank survived the St. Valentine Massacre"
(WebMaster: Answer to above statement: The Gas Tank is from Rendemonti's 1911 D. It is so riddled with holes
that we suspected that it was in the garage when and where the St. Valentine's Day Massacre took place
and received some machine gun hits.)

Andre's tech session on the Green
Here is what happened, but nobody yet knows why. Andre and others went for a little night ride in Andre's car. It ran smoothly some of the time, but there was intermitent roughness and loss of power. Then, suddenly there was a single backfire and the engine died, refusing to restart. Paul was called and came (Fenner Rd. about 2 miles E. of Caz.), but could not start it. We pushed it into a friendly person's yard and left it overnight. Next day I picked it up in my trailer and deposited it on the Green. By then the expert consensus was that the timing chain had jumped a tooth, thus the teardown that you see in the photos. It was reassembled and has run beautifully ever since, including the 200 mile drive home to Ottawa from Caz. Personally, I do not believe in auto self-healing (The timing chain didnot jump!) Somewhere there is an explanation, but none of the great brains at Trek agreed on one.
